Proposition Summary
Requires performers in adult films to use condoms during filming of sexual intercourse. • Requires producers of adult films to pay for performer vaccinations, testing, and medical examinations related to sexually transmitted infections. • Requires producers of adult films to obtain state health license, and to post condom requirement at film sites. • Imposes liability on producers for violations, on certain distributors, on performers if they have a financial interest in the film involved, and on talent agents who knowingly refer performers to noncomplying producers. • Permits state, performers, or any state resident to enforce violations. • Likely reduction of state and local tax revenues of several million dollars per year. • Increased state costs that could exceed $1 million annually to license and regulate adult film production and to enforce workplace health and safety rules. These costs would be offset to some extent by new fee revenue.
