In 2012, AIDS activists in Los Angeles helped pass a law requiring condom use on all porn sets within county lines. In 2014, a federal court upheld the law, finding that the First Amendment doesn't excuse employers from basic health and safety regulations. Now the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has turned to the rest of California, trying to get the mandatory condom requirements on a statewide ballot. "Organizers said they collected 557,138 signatures from registered voters, more than the 365,880 they needed by Monday for the initiative to be on the ballot in November 2016," Reuters reports.

—important state issues for Commiefornia—
Property prices chopped in half in the Valley overnight....
This is what passes for “critical legislation” - while the borders are open and the economy is tanking...
Maybe if people wouldn’t have sex with anything with a pulse...
Hello Nevada.
Another set of jobs leaving the state on top of the tens of thousands of other jobs that have left or are in the process of leaving. When I asked my liberal friends in the SF Bay Area about the exodus of jobs from their state one of them said to me, “Why would anyone want to leave here.” Seriously?
Doesn’t matter. The porn industry has moved to amateurs selling homebrew porn to pay-per-view websites.
How are they going to enforce such a law?
A regulatory nanny state like California has to keep finding things to regulate to justify its existence. It will do so until every industry is out of business or leaves the state, even vice industries like porn. What’s next? Regulating prostitution out of existence? I bet California’s regulators may succeed where their vice squads could not.
Nothing like introducing political correctness and regulation to a sleaze bag industry. Only in California.
Silly you...it’s easy..they hire a whole bunch of people..several thousands..to watch all the porn, and report on who’s not wearing a condom..
It fled Los Angeles years ago. Most of the porn these days comes out of the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale region, Vegas and Phoenix and is produced by people who spent $2000 on camera equipment from Best Buy.
The days of the big budget porn film that the Valley used to crank out for the video-rental market are pretty much over.
Los Angeles hired condom inspectors. No joke.
Great job if you can get it.
If an industry gets hard up then they’ll pull out.
I cannot fathom why prostitution is illegal, but getting paid to have sex while filming is a billion dollar industry and completely legal.
Oh, gawd, my idiot state government will be giving them film tax abatement incentives.
A "Kondom Kommissar," of course, and lots of enforcement officers from the "Prosecution of vice and the promotion of Virtue," arm of the African Justice Department, of course.
With big sticks.
