LA County Voters To Decide If Porn Actors Should Wear Condoms

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Obama vs Romney! Sherman vs Berman! Yeah, yeah, those are all important but lost in all that hype and hoopla is Measure B. Los Angeles County voters will get to determine Tuesday if porn actors should be required to wear condoms on the set. Measure B, short for the “Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act,” hasn’t been advertised much. You won’t see TV commercials for the pro — or anti — group for that matter. If the measure passes, producers will be required to apply for a permit from the LA County Department of Health to shoot a XXX scene. A fee for the permit would pay for random inspections to assure that performers used condoms. Civil fines (amount unspecified) could be levied against all who don’t comply. The measure also makes it possible for lawmakers to impose misdemeanor charges against violators.
