	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 402, as amended, Davis. Employment: entertainment work permits.

   Existing law requires the written consent of the Labor
Commissioner for the employment of a minor, as specified, in
entertainment productions or as an advertising or photographic model
or as a participant or player in a sport. Under existing law, a minor
is required to obtain an entertainment work permit from the Labor
Commissioner in order to be employed in those capacities.
   This bill would require that a fee of $50 be submitted at the time
the minor applies for the work permit. The bill would specify that
the fee be deposited into the Entertainment Work Permit Fund, which
would be created by the bill, and  the bill would
continuously appropriate this revenue   would make this
fee revenue available  to the Labor Commissioner  , 
 upon appropriation,  for  its   the
 costs in   of  issuing the permit and
enforcing the provisions regulating a minor's employment in fields
requiring issuance of an entertainment work permit.  Because
the bill would continuously appropriate this revenue to the Labor
Commissioner, it would make an appropriation. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation:  yes   no
 . Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
