The suspension of the lewd laws related to bars may help move forward two adult entertainment bills state lawmakers are now considering.

There was discussion during an LCB meeting Tuesday of a rollback of the rules governing lewd conduct until the LCB can rewrite the rules.

It was revealed during the meeting that the final adoption of any rewrite of the rule would happen no sooner than July 6.

In the meantime, establishments with liquor licenses are operating without a lewd law in place.

LCB agents along with members of Seattle’s responded to complaints of lewd conduct, overserving, and serving to minors at 18 establishments with liquor licenses late last month in Seattle.

Four LGBTQ+ bars were entered along with several sports venues, hookah lounges, and food vendors.

Lewd law language goes back to 1975

“We’ve had a wonderful, very positive, and supportive response from our LGBTQ+ community partners,” Chandra Brady, LCB’s director of enforcement and education, said.

Tuesday’s meeting of the LCB is the first of many to address a possible change to the lewd law. No new language for a revised rule was presented.

Dan Jacobs, staff to the LCB, said the agency has received six petitions for rulemaking that requested the repeal of the lewd conduct rule.

He said the petitions used pretty much identical language, and they all asked for the same thing, which is the immediate halt of enforcement of the lewd conduct rule and repeal of the rule.

The LCB now has 60 days to respond to the petitions.

Jacobs said the core language of the lewd law goes back to 1975 and it hasn’t been changed since then.

“That’s when we put in rules about lewd conduct, and a lot of the language is about which body parts can and can’t be shown,

“Some of the terms for acts that are forbidden have biblical references,” Jacobs added. “A lot of the wording that is the most patently offensive comes from 1975 and hasn’t been changed since that time.”

Board member , who said he is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, called for an update of many of the laws governing liquor licenses.

The board will meet again on Feb. 14 to further discuss the issue. By then, there could be movement on HB 2036 and SB 6105.
