           COMMENTS  :   

           Purpose  . Current law requires persons representing artists who  
          are minors under 18 years of age to obtain a CPS Permit from the  
          Labor Commissioner. Applicants must also pay a filing fee and  
          submit their fingerprints for a background check by the DOJ to  
          determine if they are eligible for the CPS Permit.   
          Professionals required to obtain CPS Permits include  
          photographers, acting coaches, and managers, among others.

          This bill requires anyone already required by law to obtain a  
          CPS Permit, to display their CPS Permit number on any industry  
          advertisements. According to the author's office, this bill adds  
          a layer of protection for child actors by setting valid CPS  
          Permit holders apart from potentially dangerous, unpermitted  
          impostors.
