    Fla. Gov. DeSantis Signs Bill Raising Stripper Age to 21
    TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday officially signed House Bill (HB) 7063, which requires any performers at adult establishments in the state to be at least 21 years of age. DeSantis announced the approval of the bill today in an official transmittal letter from his office. During a press conference in Coral Gables, DeSantis adopted the bill that dramatically changes adult entertainment in Florida. AVN previously reported on HB 7063 during the legislative process earlier in the year. It enters force on July 1, 2024. HB 7063 broadly applies to businesses that fall under the state's definition of adult entertainment, including strip clubs, burlesque shows, adult bookstores and adult theaters. Sponsors of the bill, predominately conservative Republicans aligned with DeSantis ideologically, presented the measure as a means to prevent human trafficking. "This legislation will help better protect the most vulnerable in our communities, it will ensure that if businesses are not complying with these very modest, reasonable requirements, whether knowingly or unknowingly, they will be held accountable," DeSantis said during the Coral Gables press conference. "And of course, anybody actively involved in human trafficking will have the book thrown at them in the state of Florida."

    I would like to hear Jontro’s opinion on this;)

    Seriously though I have no problem with this regulation.

    Although one Florida politician might.

    I have no issue with this, to be honest I thought you already had to be 21

    If you're old enough to go to war you're old enough to drink and get naked for money IMO.

    Yeah I am mixed. You're absolutely correct on this and I fully agree.

    On the other hand, I do have concerns with 18 year olds who look much younger stripping.

    Its probably best to respect the individual sovereignty of a state deemed 'adult'.

    There should also be a max age of 28.

    My comment is probably more geared toward raising the combat deployment age than it is lowering the drinking/stripping age.

    Enlistment is one thing, putting a gun in someone's hand and shipping them off to a war zone is another.

    Of course this all goes out the window in the event of an actual existential war and not one of these voluntary war-as-profit episodes.

    Is the goal is to have Syneman to have the stage name Cinnamon?

    Great way to legislate without doing anything real.

    I guess this could be useful if FL does have an illegal minor stripper problem that this would try to solve (how do they enforce..by punishing the establishment?), but what's that saying...

    You can forbid a 18 yr old Florida stripper to get out of the family trailer but you can't take the family trailer out of the 21 yr old Florida stripper.

    A lot of those girls are molested, abused ect... There's absolutely nothing wrong with raising the age. Owning a gun is a different conversation but there's a lot of people who certainly shouldn't

    I'm also fine with raising the age. Texas raised the age to 21 in 2021. Per this, the stripping age is 18 in most states, but 21 in WA, OR, CA, OK, LA, TX, OH, GA, and FL.

    Here is a map of minimum ages for bartenders. In most states, you can show customers your junk at a younger age than when you can pull them a draught of beer. That's ridiculous.
