Legislation in Washington state known as the strippers' bill of rights has been signed into law. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the measure on Monday which creates safer working conditions for people in the adult entertainment industry.
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Legislation in Washington state known as the strippers’ bill of rights, which advocates say includes the most comprehensive statewide protections in the nation, was signed into law on Monday.
The new law requires training for employees in establishments to prevent sexual harassment, identify and report human trafficking, de-escalate conflict and provide first aid. It also mandates security workers on site, keypad codes on dressing rooms and panic buttons in places where entertainers may be alone with customers.
Strippers Are Workers, a dancer-led organization in the state since 2018, advocated for the regulations — and alcohol sales.
