HB1125 expands South Dakota's obscenity laws to include "drag performances" as material that can be deemed harmful to minors, defining drag performance as singing, dancing, or other entertainment where a performer exhibits a gender identity different from their biological sex through clothing, makeup, or similar means in a lewd and lascivious manner. The bill adds drag performances to the existing legal standard used to determine what material is off-limits to children, meaning performances meeting that definition could now be restricted from minors under state law.
