HB 938 creates a cause of action against individuals who promote, conduct, or perform in drag shows in the presence of minors when the performance violates community standards of decency. The legislation defines terms such as "drag performance" and establishes potential damages, including actual and statutory damages up to $5,000, along with attorney's fees. It includes defenses for reasonable belief of adult status but does not excuse parental consent. The law applies to causes of action accruing on or after September 1, 2025.
