2016 California Proposition 60

2016 California Proposition 60 was a ballot measure in California that aimed to require the use of condoms in adult film productions. The proposition was put forth to address concerns regarding the health and safety of adult film performers.

Background

The proposition was introduced in response to the growing concerns about the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adult film performers. Supporters of the proposition argued that mandating condom use in adult films would help protect the health of performers and prevent the transmission of STIs.

Provisions

If passed, Proposition 60 would have required adult film producers to ensure that performers use condoms during the filming of sexual intercourse scenes. The measure also included provisions for STI testing and disclosure of information about performers' health status.

Controversy

Opponents of Proposition 60 raised concerns about the potential impact of the measure on the adult film industry in California. Critics argued that the measure could lead to job losses and production declines in the state. Additionally, some performers expressed concerns about privacy and the potential for harassment if their health information was made public.

Outcome

Proposition 60 was ultimately defeated in the November 2016 election, with a majority of voters rejecting the measure. The defeat of the proposition was seen as a victory for the adult film industry in California.
