NEW ABC REGULATION PROPOSAL
 

This new proposal is ridiculous! I have been a local here at the beach for 8 years and these laws can ruin your entire summer! We are at the beach! How can you not be able to enter a bar or restaurant and not be able to wear board shorts or a bikini. The beach is right across the street from the strip where there are tons of people in bathing suits. Thats what summer and vacation at the beach is all about. I mean the state wants tourists to come to the oceanfront right? Don't they also want people from this area to come to the oceanfront?

#4 portion of this proposal is the worst of all! What if someone is out with their wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, or husband or whatever and is "touching them indecently?" I have held on to my girlfriends butt when we hug or kiss; so is that illegal?

 

This new proposal is such a bad idea I can't believe this is even real!
