The measure, which requires adult film actors to wear condoms on set and follow certain health regulations, has faced criticism from multiple executives and actors in the industry for being vague and unfair to the workers.

"The industry is very strict and has rigorous protocols for testing," said James Deen, an actor in the adult film industry, in an interview with The Daily Beast. "Because of these safety precautions, we have had zero HIV transmissions in almost 10 years. We are very safe, we are very careful, and to say our system is not working is very insulting."

The measure, which passed overwhelmingly 56 percent to 44 percent, covers all of L.A. County as well as the San Fernando Valley - the supposed "porn capital" of the world.

Diane Duke, the president of the Free Speech Coalition, which represents the industry, sent a letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, calling it an "intolerable law" and "unconstitutional on grounds of forced expression." She also wrote that the law was vague and caused serious enforcement problems. 

For now, the industry aims to fight the law by suing the county and suspenfing enforcement until it is possible to get a ruling from a court regarding the legality of the measure.

The campaign to pass the measure was helped by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which argued that a multitude of sexually transmitted disease are contracted by adult film workers, which are then passed on to the larger population, according to KCET. This would harm the health of the general public.

Many executives have threatened to move out of the region, which would mean a huge financial loss as well as the loss of 10,000 jobs, according to Duke. The law, in total, would mandate condoms and require producers of adult films to obtain a permit in order to shoot porn movies. The measure also includes periodic inspections of filming for violations. Deen, for example, suggested Las Vegas, Florida, and Arizona as places that would welcome the industry.

The law has also come under criticism because the condoms' latex would cause tears within the skin, allowing for the higher possibility of STI transmission--something that the law is intended to prevent.

According to the L.A. Times, regulators will now have to find a way to implement these regulatory visits--which may include government inspectors simply watching adult films or the production of these films in order to prevent violations.
