If the cost of this is borne by the film producer, how is it government waste?

Since you appear to be Google-challenged today, here's the
full text of Measure B.
Please note sub-paragraph (g) under "Findings and Declarations," which states:
Quote:

Producers of adult films are required by California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 5193 to use barrier protection, including condoms, to protect employees during the production of adult films.
|
Since condoms are specified by way of saying "barrier protection,
including condoms" do you think it's reasonable to read that as meaning that other forms of barrier protection are also required?
I think that's a reasonable interpretation (particularly once you read the full text of the relevant portion of
Title 8 §5193), and more importantly, so do our attorneys.
As for the "government waste" question, I'm not sure how the No On Measure B folks would respond to that, but IMO, no matter who pays for it, I consider the inspections, regulation and enforcement that would flow from this measure to be a waste of
time... and time is a resource the government already wastes too much of, as well.
