As used in this act:

(b) "Sexually oriented business" includes, but is not limited to, an adult bookstore, adult video store, adult cabaret, adult motion picture theater, sexual device shop, or sexual encounter center or an establishment that regularly features live performances characterized by the exposure of a specified anatomical area or by a specified sexual activity or in which persons appear in a state of nudity or seminudity in the performance of their duties. However, sexually oriented business does not include a business solely because it shows, sells, or rents materials that may depict sex.
