The law would require that a patron’s “sexual or genital areas” be covered by towels, cloths, or undergarments when in the presence of an employee. “We have, over time, checked on several establishments because sometimes customers complain about maybe seeing something they think shouldn’t be happening,” Police Chief John Reardon said last March.
