In a very California story, inter-union drama appears to be marring the introduction of a bill that would require porn stars to get business licenses.
On Tuesday, Assemblymembers Lorena Gonzalez (DSan Diego) and Christina Garcia (DBell Gardens) introduced Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2389. The bill would require adult entertainers and video performers, including webcam performers, to obtain a business license and complete a state-mandated training course before being allowed to ply their trade.
Requirements for that training would be developed by the state's Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), which would, in turn, be advised by a new 10-member, governor-appointed board composed of two adult film actors, three dancers, two medical doctors, a therapist, and a money manager.

Jeffrey Epstein is no longer available
Harvey Weinstein may be and he has the film experience.

A cam girl in front of a computer could be anywhere on earth. Certainly not necessarily in commiefornia.

The great majority of people in the sex industry are not politically aware to any measurable degree.
So your schadenfreude is in your imagination.

I want to see the syllabus for that course. These people are just crazy. Im telling you we are putting the wall in the wrong place. Not just the syllabus, wait till you see the licensing exam.

Just another scheme to shakedown the very people that they claim to represent.
How about passing a mandatory course in American history, heritage and the constitution before being allowed to run for office? Now, that’s a license I could support.

And is it a one time license or will there be annual renewal tests?
