If HB 1042 becomes law, I predict an increase in vendors of “neck massagers.” Passing the House by a margin of 88 to 5, the law regulates people and businesses selling “sexually explicit materials, products, or services.” At its broadest extent such materials, products or services are defined as those designed for use in sadism, masochism, or the stimulation of human genitals.
To sell such products, you have to register with the secretary of state and list the products or services. The secretary of state is then required to notify the county commissioners, the mayor (if in a city), and all zoning boards with jurisdiction. If you sell such things without having registered, you have committed a Class B misdemeanor.
I don’t know, does Borders sell BDSM for Dummys? Will they have to register? If Wal-Mart suspects that not all of those ladies buying the Hitachi Magic Wand have sore necks, will it have to register?
