This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
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 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 would make this fee revenue available to the Labor Commissioner, upon appropriation, for the costs of issuing the permit, enforcing the provisions regulating a minor's employment in fields requiring issuance of an entertainment work permit, and administering the entertainment work permit program. The bill would provide that the fee to be submitted to the Labor Commissioner pursuant to these provisions would be $50 until January 1, 2012, and, on and after January 1, 2012, the fee would be set by the Labor Commissioner in an amount, not to exceed $50, sufficient to pay for the costs set forth above.
