SB184

This bill 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, acting, or other performance where someone exhibits a gender identity different from their biological sex through clothing, makeup, or physical markers in a "lewd and lascivious manner." The bill adds drag performances to the same legal standard already used for other sexual material, meaning performances could be restricted from minors if they appeal to inappropriate interests and lack serious artistic or educational value.
