As if things aren't bad enough with piracy, it seems to me that any Cal/OSHA restrictions/mandates just escalates the possibility of companies going underground, or moving out of California, or cutting back production even farther, or going out of business.
IMO, MANY jobs will be lost; and, (from these lost jobs) State and IRS income taxes will also be lost; sales tax revenues will be lost to California, and unemployment pay-outs and food stamps and other social welfare costs will increase. Isn't California already the least "business-friendly" State in America!!!!!!
IMO, we talent/performers who seek to be in this field of employment are already WELL-protected, especially relative to other employment fields; the "do-gooders" and bureaucrats need to get real!
IMO, the American thirst for porn will not lessen, especially viewer preference for a constant stream of new actresses; but any mandatory condoms (or dental dams/googles/latex gloves) will turn many of them off to American porn --- which might be replaced by porn from Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia, etc, some of which could be relatively hostile to women and teach American viewers that sex is about being mean to their sex partners, instead of being loving--yuk!
IMO, the State of California (indeed, even America) needs to totally restrict the Ca/OSHA part of State government from getting involved in this matter.
