   An act to add Section 1308.10 to the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2032, Davis. Employment: entertainment work permits.
   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 would be set by the Labor Commissioner in an
amount, not to exceed $50, sufficient to pay for the costs set forth
above.
