The Texas House passed a bill aiming to protect children from sexually explicit performances on Monday, but the Senate sent the bill to a committee on Thursday, where some disagreements must be resolved before it can become law.

In a 93-45 vote, state representatives passed their version of Senate Bill 12, which prohibits “sexually oriented performance[s]” from taking place in the presence of a minor.

Business owners who allow such performances to take place on their premises could face a $10,000 fine, while performers who engage in sexual conduct could be charged with a Class A misdemeanor.

The bill was passed by the Texas Senate on April 5, as reported by The Dallas Express. Normally, it would head directly to the desk of Governor Greg Abbott for his signature.

However, the Senate was unwilling to accept some of the changes introduced by the House.

The original version of the bill passed by the Senate specifically targeted drag performances, but that language was removed by the House, where legislators opted for broader terminology.

The Senate decided Thursday to send the bill to a conference committee of legislators from both chambers, where a version of the bill must be agreed upon before it can be sent to the governor.

The deadline for legislators to reach an agreement is the end of Saturday.

“After the change of language on SB 12, most ‘kid-friendly’ drag shows would still be legal,” Kelly Neidert of Protect Texas Kids said in a statement to The Dallas Express.

“I think the new version could potentially cause a chilling effect and less of these shows would be hosted,” she continued. “But the bill would be more effective if some of the original language was added back.”

However, critics allege the bill is an attack on the LGBTQ community.

Brian Klosterboer, an attorney with the ACLU of Texas, said, “We believe it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing that’s still designed to target drag and the LGBTQ+ community,” as reported by The Texas Tribune.

Controversy has risen around this issue in recent months as “family-friendly” drag shows have become a more common occurrence, with many taking place in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Texas Representative Rafael Anchía (D-Dallas) recently asked for a list of “kid-friendly drag shows” in North Texas, so he could take his children to go see them during a committee hearing on SB 12.
