AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Texas lieutenant governor paused debate Tuesday afternoon on legislation that would restrict and even criminalize drag shows in the state after a Democratic senator's comment about addressing gun violence led to cheers and applause from visitors in the chamber. The full Senate began discussing Senate Bill 12, which Republican Sen. Bryan Hughes of Mineola introduced. It would levy a penalty of up to $10,000 against any business owner hosting a “sexually oriented performance” with anyone who’s younger than 18 present. A city or county would also not be able to host these kinds of performances on public property, according to the proposal. The bill defines “sexually oriented performance” as a “male performer exhibiting as a female, or a female performer exhibiting as a male” who “appeals to the prurient interest in sex.” Ban on transgender youth treatments passes Texas Senate Drag performers could also face a criminal misdemeanor charge if they perform in front of...Williamson County takes steps to get 911 dispatch protocol up to Texas DPS standards
