Employment of infants: entertainment industry.
Summary
Existing law regulates the employment of minors in the entertainment industry and requires the written consent of the Labor Commissioner for a minor under the age of 16 to take part in certain types of employment. Existing law establishes a program to be administered by the Labor Commissioner that enables a minor's parent or guardian, prior to the first employment of a minor performer and under specified conditions, to obtain a temporary permit for the employment of a minor. Existing law prohibits the employment on a motion picture set or location of an infant under the age of one month unless a prescribed certification is made by a physician and surgeon who is board certified in pediatrics. This bill would provide that this requirement of medical certification of the infant must be met before a temporary permit for the employment of the infant may be issued.
