READ THE BILL
If you read Measure B in its entirety, you will find the following language:
"Whenever the department determines that a permittee has failed to comply with the requirements of this chapter, any other violation of law creating a risk of exposing performers to sexually transmitted infections, including any violation of applicable provisions of the Los Angeles County Code, the California Health and Safety Code, the blood borne pathogen standard, California Code of Regulations Title 8 Section 5193 or the exposure control plan of the producer of adult films, or any combination thereof," that permit may be revoked.
If you then follow up and look at Title 8 Section 5193, you will find the following language:
"Where occupational exposure remains after institution of engineering and work practice controls, the employer shall provide, at no cost to the employee, appropriate personal protective equipment such as, but not limited to, gloves, gowns, laboratory coats, face shields or masks and eye protection, and mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, pocket masks, or other ventilation devices. Personal protective equipment will be considered 'appropriate' only if it does not permit blood or OPIM to pass through to or reach the employee's work clothes, street clothes, undergarments, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time which the protective equipment will be used." [OPIM is "other potentially infectious material"]
Therefore, masks, goggles, rubber gloves, dental dams and, yes, hazmat suits WILL BE required by Measure B.
True, most people believe the measure is just about condoms. It isn't.

That is what is passing in the fine print of the measure and what we are fighting for...it's not about condoms...this a measurement to stamp out porn productions
A porn shoot will be under the same rules and regulations as a hospital and failure to have proper equipment to protect everyone on the set from Hazardous Substances will be subject to incarceration of 6 months in jail. This will be a criminal act.
