The New Condom Law, What Will It Mean?

From http://www.mikesouth.com

There seems to be some confusion about how the proposed new condom law is going to work.

Most people think that the condom use will be tied to getting the filming permits from the city, this is not exactly the case.

As I read it companies in L.A. who are shooting hardcore are going to have to have permits, for which they will pay a fee and be held in compliance with workplace safety regulations, failure to do so will result in fines and potential revocation of the permit. Think of it more like a license to shoot porn instead of the traditional one time shooting permits, so it doesn't matter if you don't get a one shoot permit or you shoot on private property, the very product you produce could be used as evidence that you aren't in compliance.

This approach makes it much easier to police and enforce the permit requirements.
