The bill, noted on the local news site Billy Penn,
requires bars and nightclubs with live shows and occupancies of greater
than 50 people to maintain a registry containing “the full name,
address and phone number of all performance acts scheduled to perform on
the premises of the special assembly occupancy at any time.” The bill
would also make police responsible for approving and denying the
licenses needed to hold live performances, instead of the Department of
Licenses and Inspections, which currently issues them. The approval
process would involve “crime, traffic, litter, noise, parking and hours
of operation,” according to the legislation.
