TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A bill that seeks to regulate strip clubs and other adult businesses in Kansas has resurfaced in the Kansas House.

The measure would regulate where adult businesses can be located, and ban lap dances and dancing onstage in various levels of undress.

The Associated Press reports a hearing on the measure is planned for Feb. 14 in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

But Rep. Arlen Siegfreid, an Olathe Republican, says he's unsure how eager lawmakers will be to vote on it and it's unclear if the committee will work on the bill this year.

When the bill was considered in Kansas in 2010 and 2011, it passed the House but died in the Senate.
