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



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 402, 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 to be submitted to the Labor Commissioner
pursuant to these provisions would be $50 until January 1, 2012, and,
on and after January 1, 2012, 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.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1308.10 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   1308.10.  (a) To obtain an Entertainment Work Permit pursuant to
Section 11753 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, an
applicant shall submit to the Labor Commissioner an application and
an application fee. The Labor Commissioner shall deposit the fee into

State Treasury. Revenue in the Entertainment Work Permit Fund shall
be available to the Labor Commissioner, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, to pay for the costs of all of the following:
   (1) Issuing Entertainment Work Permits.
   (2) Enforcing the provisions of Section 1308.5, including making
at least one unannounced site visit per quarter to a randomly
selected set or production facility where one or more children are

   (3) Administering the Entertainment Work Permit program, including
developing and enhancing an Internet Web site, developing and

teachers, as defined in Section 11755 of Title 8 of the California
Code of Regulations, regarding their role in enforcing the
requirements of Section 1308.5 and the regulations adopted pursuant
thereto.
   (b) Until January 1, 2012, the fee submitted to the Labor
Commissioner pursuant to subdivision (a) is fifty dollars ($50). On
and after January 1, 2012, the fee shall be set by the Labor
