Bill 118 hr 3825, also known as the "Prohibition of Department of Defense Funds for Adult Cabaret Performances Act," aims to prevent the use of Department of Defense funds for adult cabaret performances. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and is currently under consideration.
If passed, this legislation would prohibit the Department of Defense from using any of its funds to support or sponsor adult cabaret performances. This includes any performances that involve nudity, sexually explicit content, or other adult entertainment.

However, the primary focus of the bill is to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and in accordance with the values and standards of the Department of Defense. Overall, Bill 118 hr 3825 seeks to establish clear guidelines for the use of Department of Defense funds and to prevent any misuse or misallocation of taxpayer dollars for adult cabaret performances.
