As I read the legislation it wont MATTER WHERE YOU SHOOT. What matters is that your product contains condom usage think of it kinda like California emissions....if you have a dealership you cant sell cars that dont comply with California emissions, doesnt matter where they are built.
what is troublesome to me is Weinsteins NEXT step, which will almost certainly be to push this through the STATE Legislature.....

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure that it would apply on the level your thinking. (Disclaimer: I'm not a legal expert, just a smut puddler/sometimes producer offering his thoughts)
The vehicle emissions thing could be applied country wide because the pollution that a vehicle puts off affects everyone, everywhere. People who purchase cars drive them all over, spreading the pollutents throughout the air all over the country/world.
Porn, on the other hand, once purchased, is generally viewed within the confines of one's home. Additionally, viewing a video, looking at pictures, etc. does not pose any physical threat to anyone other than those who actually participated in the making of it.
Is Bob's health in Kentucky affected by pollution put off by cars manufactured in Detroit? Yes.
Is Bob's health in Kentucky affected by two people fucking without a condom in a video shot anywhere in the world? No.
Maybe I'm simplifying it too much. Maybe not. But a law passed in the city of Los Angeles shouldn't affect my filming in central PA. That's the equivilant of Harrisburg, PA passing a law that says "no characters can smoke in any film production," and thinking that it's going to change the way studios in Hollywood film their movies. I just don't see it happening or being enforcable, unless the federal government were to mandate it.
