Summary

San Francisco city officials approved a ban on public nudity, with fines of up to $500 for repeat offenders. The new ordinance allows exceptions for preschoolers, women going topless, and events permitted by the city, although it faces a lawsuit from nudists claiming infringement on their constitutional right to free speech.
