LOS ANGELES (AP) — An ordinance that would require porn actors to wear condoms during film shoots was tentatively approved by the City Council on Tuesday.
The council voted 11-1 for the proposal. The ordinance still requires a second vote next week for final approval.
Under the ordinance, porn producers would have to provide and require the use of condoms on set in order to obtain permits to film in the nation’s second-largest city.
The council also agreed to form a group made up of law enforcement and state occupational safety regulators that will hammer out how to enforce the new rules.
Several members of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has long advocated for mandatory condom use in adult films, urged council members to approve the ordinance. The group last month said it gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the June ballot.
A trade group for the porn industry opposes mandatory condom regulations but favors consistently testing adult film performers for sexually transmitted diseases.
