The City Council voted Tuesday to ban lap dances and all other physical contact between entertainers and customers at strip clubs, bikini bars and adult bookstores.
A "no-touch" rule would require dancers to remain at least six feet from customers, effectively banning the practice of tipping dancers by tucking money into their G-strings. The council's unanimous decision also would outlaw "VIP rooms" where nude dancers perform privately.
The ordinance now goes to Mayor James Hahn for his signature.
Violations of the ordinance would be punishable by up to six months in jail and up to $2,500 in fines.
Under the law, strip clubs also would have to have a state-licensed security guard on duty at all times and undergo an annual review of police permits.
Exotic dancers, who make most of their money through dances, argued at previous hearings that the ordinance would destroy their livelihood.
Supporters of the law argued that adult entertainment places contribute to prostitution and drug use.
