FSC Releases Statement on Opposition to State Senate Vote for AB 1576

CANOGA PARK, Calif. — The Free Speech Coalition has issued a statement on its opposition to AB 1576, the legislation requiring mandatory barrier protection on adult production sets that cleared the California Senate Labor & Industrial Relations Committee with an affirmative vote this morning.

The bill will now proceed to be heard by the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The FSC's statement follows: “Today’s vote is a slap in the face to adult performers, who have been outspoken in their opposition this bill and have worked so hard to defeat it. In his words and actions, [Assemblyman Isadore Hall] has made it abundantly clear that he knows little about the performers he seeks to control, and respects their opinions even less. He has not worked with them on this bill, and has actively spurned their offers to create an alternate solution that would strengthen comprehensive workplace safety measures while respecting their real concerns about privacy and personal choice. 

"Supporters of AB 1576 stated again in the hearing that the bill relies on the PASS database for testing and enforcement. That Hall would rely on our private procedures says something both about the strength of our existing  procedures, and the short-sightedness of Hall as to what this bill will cost the state. As the bill approaches appropriations, we suspect that Senators will have very serious concerns about how a private testing system run privately serve as the backbone for government regulation.

"We understand that Assemblymember Hall wants a bill for his legacy, but such legacy should not be built on the backs of adult performers.”
