Abstract
Regulations imposed on "adult entertainment businesses" by local government raise serious constitutional issues because the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of expression extends to non-obscene sexually oriented media. This article provides an update on recent adult business cases dealing with location restrictions, regulation of nude or topless dancing, licensing requirements, and public health regulations.
