Yes, I’m very sure just checked notes.

Reminds me I want to ask jilted about the ELISA vs Antigen test stuff she said…as I understood it APTIMA HIV1 is a PCR-RNA that detects viral particles, while antigen tests are a third and distinct tool (type test).

Wait, Lorelie Lee submitted those performer signatures under APAC?
Seriously? Are you sure?

@Lacey

are you seriously expecting FSC or its barkers to be rational or logical?

lets take those 500+ signatures offered…lets assume they are all California residents for the sake of argument…
500 x 400 = 200k times 12 months = $2.4 million workers are forking out reducing their living wages approx 5k annually….id love to chat with Diane Duke to know just whose wooing porn for the great living wages they offer…over the past 10 months performers and every other ancillary job related to porn has expressed fear and economic hardship with the added burden of moratia….more likely the consumer $ and ancillary service $ porn generates is being wooed via unhappy big ticket stakeholders who think that testing money is better in their pocket than performers.

now for the kicker….Lorelie Lee repped APAC when she presented those 500+ signatures, mentioned Duke….and dont forget Tynan

only logic behind that is ..performers its better to pay 5k a year to have a job than no money at all

I understood her point and why she brought it up, but I was still sitting there trying my hardest not to facepalm myself into next year… *facepalm*

Although, It had more to do with the no Cal-OSHA regulations for the adult industry.
It takes *literally* 30 seconds to google them…. wtf?

If I HAD to guess I’m going to assume she was referring to the notion that performers are considered Independent Contractors not covered under OSHA, but we all know that’s far from the truth. Therefore, IC’s wouldn’t be covered under OSHA workplace rules which is also far from the truth. Federal classified Independent contractors are different than OSHA classifications.
Her statements make much more sense if I look at them from that point of view, but they’re still misleading and quite frankly not true.

@Lacey

suspension is a normal process, ninth AYE vote came in so it isnt an issue with respect to AB1576 now.

re: sex worker comments, id actually be disappointed if Tynan didn’t raise the issue because Hall raised the issue of legal shooting in only 3 jurisdictions as well as Nevada rules that are costly.

now on the flip side…outside a hearing or similar setting I totally get your point and would hysterically laugh if a porn performer tried to tell me they weren’t a sex worker and ask…so tell me what it is you do for a paycheck again. 😉

I understood their stance and agree, but flat out saying they’re not sex workers is a little ridiculous.

To be honest, the whole argument is rather vague.
Of course “non sex worker” porn performers wouldn’t be subject to the regulations in place for brothel workers, etc.
That’s because there are no specific regulations pertaining to porn performers in NV.
The fact is they aren’t subject to regulations because THERE ARE NONE… yet.

So, I guess Nevada OSHA is now going to be releasing specific OSHA regulations pertaining to the adult industry? And, those regulations are going to include an “anything goes” provision?
Really??

Porn performers in NV aren’t currently regulated because there are no regulations in place.
Do they really think NV and/or OSHA isn’t going to push the issue and just ignore it and pretend the adult industry doesn’t even exist?

Wouldn’t suspending the bill mean suspending normal procedure to force a course of action or to move the bill through quickly?

I probably have this completely wrong. There’s about a 90% chance of it.
But, I always thought the suspension of a bill was to speed up the process in getting the bill through committee faster?
