The Legal Show: State Regulations: Necessary or Nuisance

06/23: State Regulations: Necessary or Nuisance?
 
Attorney Sarah Steele and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day.
 
The audience should know that although Ms. Steele is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.
 
This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.
 
Tonight we discuss the topic of state regulations.  In California, there is a bill that has passed the California Assembly that imposes an additional mandate on STI testing than the ones currently used by adult film performers, and requires that all producers disclose those records with the Department of Industrial Relations, which some are calling a clear violation of privacy. Some people call state regulations a necessary evil, and some people call it unneeded “nannying” by the state.  Tune in as Sarah and Bennet discuss state regulations and their effect on everyday citizens.
