California Assembly passes bill mandating porn film condoms
SACRAMENTO Calif. Wed May 28, 2014 1:46am EDT
(Reuters) - A bill requiring pornographic film actors to wear condoms during sex scenes easily passed the California State Assembly on Tuesday despite resistance from most of the adult film industry.
The bill would also require employers to test pornography film actors regularly for sexually transmitted diseases.
The lower house passed the measure 48-13, with 19 Assembly members not voting. The bill now goes to the Senate.
State Assembly member Isadore Hall, a Democrat from Compton who authored the bill, has hailed the measure as a public health effort aimed at reducing the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, within the pornography industry.

More regulation for what should be a free market. I am sure the GOP will come out to defend the porn industry against Big Government.
