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 amended, 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   allow  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   if a child or children will be
employed at a particular film production location,  to make this
information available to the Department of Industrial Relations and
the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement within the department.
 The department and the division would be prohibited from using
the information provided for any purpose other than enforcing
specified labor laws and from further disseminating the information
provided.  
   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
  no  . State-mandated local program:  yes
  no  .


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)    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.
  may inform the department and the division, upon
request, whether a child or children will be employed at a particular
film production location.  
   (b) The information released pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be
used only for purposes of enforcing provisions of this part relating
to the employment of minors and may not be used for any other
purpose, nor may the information be further released by the
department or division.  
   (c) Nothing in this section is intended to create a duty for a
local agency or public entity that issues a permit for on-location
motion picture, television, or commercial production to seek, obtain,
or maintain information regarding whether a child or children will
be employed at a particular production location.
