San Francisco, Calif. (KCBS)  -- The San Francisco Department on the Status of Women has concluded a two-year study of the exotic dancing scene in the city in an effort to make sure the businesses run smoothly and are safe.

The result of the study is proposed legislation that would allow the city to better regulate the strip clubs.

"We are hearing about violations of workers' rights, violations of safety and this legislation is designed to address the human rights of the dancers," said Emily Morrisey from the Status of Women. 

That includes fining managers who illegal charge dancers stage fees and doing away with private booths.

"I was sexually assaulted in these booths," admitted one dancer.

But several dozen other dancers showed up at city hall to attend a meeting Friday on the proposals. One dancer said eliminating the private booths cuts into the dancer's profits. "It forces to me to have to sell everything. I cannot live on a salary of just have $20 lap dances.

The meeting was continued. Before any of the measures can go into effect, the full Board of Supervisors must approve the legislation.
