The Los Angeles City Council has approved a legislation proposed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation requiring porn stars wear condoms when filming within the city, where 80 percent of the U.S porn industry is based. The legislation will allow the LAPD to perform spot checks on sets once the mandate goes into effect in 90 days. The city attorney was originally skeptical about passing a law that was already preempted by the state, but he agreed to move forward with the measure after AHF vowed to cover up to $50,000 in legal costs if the city is sued over the new policy. The foundation is still pushing to get the initiative approved across Los Angeles County.
