INTRODUCED BY   Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism,
and Internet Media (Campos (Chair), Carter, Gatto, Mendoza, and
Monning)

                        FEBRUARY 28, 2011

   An act to add Section 1308.10 to the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1393, as introduced, Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports,
Tourism, and Internet Media. Employment: on-location filming permits.

   Existing law requires that the written consent of the Labor
Commissioner is required for the employment of minors in specified
aspects of the entertainment industry.
   This bill would require a local agency or public entity that
issues a permit for on-location filming, require that the applicant
for the permit declare whether it has or intends to seek permission
to employ a minor in the production and to make this information
available to the Department of Industrial Relations and the Division
of Labor Standards Enforcement within the department.
   Because this bill would create a new requirement for local
entities to collect and report this information regarding the
employment of minors, it would impose a state-mandated local program.

   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1308.10 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   1308.10.  A local agency or public entity that issues a permit for
on-location motion picture, television, or commercial production
shall do both of the following:
   (a) Include a field on the application form for the applicant to
declare whether it has or will seek to obtain a permit to employ a
minor in the entertainment industry, as required under Section
1308.5.
   (b) Make the information required in subdivision (a) available to
the department and the division directly upon request, or by
providing the information in any notice of filming location generated
by the entity and made available to the department.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a
local agency or school district has the authority to levy service
charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or
level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section
17556 of the Government Code.
