Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. It is hereby declared a matter of
legislative declaration and belief that the morals of the youth of the State of
Nevada are threatened by the presence of adult motion picture theaters and
adult bookstores which are appearing throughout some of the communities of our
State. These establishments and the type and character of the merchandise and
paraphernalia sold in them create an aura of mystery and enticement for
Nevadas youngsters that is increased by the lascivious and suggestive
advertising that is often employed to promulgate the availability of these
products and services. It is the intent of the Legislature to minimize the
exposure of our youth to the influence of these establishments.
2. It is further the firm belief that the
moral values of our youth and therefore the mores of our society are in great
part influenced and determined by the family, but are affected by the presence
of an exposure to these establishments; therefore, it is the firm belief of the
Legislature that society has a vital duty and role in the protection of our
moral fiber and standards for the well-being of us all as a society.
3. The location of these establishments is
of vital concern to society in regard to their location near areas where our
youth may learn, play, pass by, or would be exposed to their advertising,
window displays, or the general atmosphere encompassing their operation.
