California AB1660 - Child Performer Protection Act

California AB1660 - Child Performer Protection Act

The Issue

AB 1660 will protect children working in the entertainment industry, by requiring any person who works unsupervised with child artists to submit his or her name and a fee to the Labor Commissioner to permit screening of that individual to determine if he or she is a registered sex offender. No person who is identified as a sex offender would be permitted to represent artists who are minors. This type of abuse is sadly a too common occurance within the entertainment industry and there have been multiple arrests and convictions.
