§ 122.22 UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES.
   Nothing contained in this chapter is intended, or shall be construed, to permit or authorize activities, which are unlawful under state law or local ordinance. It is unlawful for an operator to knowingly violate the following regulations or to allow, either knowingly or recklessly, an employee or a patron to violate the following regulations:
   (A)   It shall be a violation of this chapter for a patron, employee, or any other person to knowingly or intentionally, in an adult entertainment establishment, appear in a state of nudity, regardless of whether such public nudity is expressive in nature.
   (B)   It shall be a violation of this chapter for an employee to knowingly or intentionally, in an adult entertainment establishment, appear in a semi-nude condition unless the employee, while semi-nude, remains at least six (6) feet from any patron or customer and on a fixed stage at least eighteen (18) inches from the floor. The six (6) foot requirement is measured from the edge of the stage where the semi-nude employee is located to the patron seating or standing area, or, if patrons are allowed to sit at the stage, from the edge of the stage to a line or other barrier six (6) feet from the edge beyond which employees are allowed to appear semi-nude.
   (C)   It shall be a violation of this chapter for any employee, while semi-nude in an adult business, to knowingly or intentionally receive any pay or gratuity directly from any patron or customer or for any patron or customer to knowingly or intentionally pay or give any gratuity directly to any employee, while the employee is semi-nude in an adult entertainment establishment.
   (D)   It shall be a violation of this chapter for any employee, who regularly appears semi- nude in an adult entertainment establishment, to knowingly or intentionally touch a customer or the clothing of a customer.
