L.A. County voters to decide on porn condom measure
California voters will decide on a president, the future of the death penalty and whether to allow temporary taxes that will fund education.
But Los Angeles County voters face another question at the polls: Should pornographic movie performers be required to wear condoms during filming?
Measure B would require adult film producers to obtain public health permits from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, much like tattoo shops, massage parlors and bathhouses do. The county would be authorized to conduct random spot inspections and revoke the permits of producers who violate the ordinance, and violations could result in civil fines or misdemeanor charges.
The cost of implementing the law would be paid for by porn producers.
