Officials in Simi Valley will discuss an ordinance Monday evening that would require all male actors in pornographic films to wear condoms.
Simi Valley officials and parents are concerned about the movement of the porn industry from the San Fernando Valley, where 90 percent of the porn in the United States is currently produced, to nearby Simi Valley.
"It's really a message of safety and also a message to the industry that this community is not going to welcome them with any kind of reception in any positive way," said City Manager of Simi Valley Mike Sedell.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa passed a similar ordinance in the city of Los Angeles last week, which goes into effect in March. The new law requires film producers who seek a permit from the city to have their actors wear condoms, but permits are not mandatory to film in soundstages or backlots.
