Washington state signs "Strippers' Bill of Rights" providing adult dancers workplace protections
CBSN
Lawmakers in Washington state signed legislation this week known as the "Strippers' Bill of Rights," which advocates say includes the most comprehensive statewide protections in the nation for adult dancers.
The measure, which Gov. Jay Inslee signed Monday, creates safer working conditions for people in the adult entertainment industry and makes it possible for the clubs to eventually sell alcohol.
"It's pretty simple why we are passing this bill. These are working folks — and working people deserve safety in the environment in which they work," Inslee said during a press conference Monday.
