(Austin, Texas) - In a performative bid against "human trafficking," Texas law (S.B. 315) has raised the legal age for working at a strip club from 18 to 21 years old, putting many employees out of work and putting clubs that hire them even inadvertently in risk of serious legal penalties, including up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The state also updated part of its penal code to define "child" as anyone under age 21.
