A proposed California bill would require adult pornography and webcam performers to be fingerprinted and obtain a license to work.

Lorena Gonzalez, an assemblywoman from Oceanside and the co-author of the new licensing bill, told NBC News that the International Entertainment Adult Union had pitched the legislation to her as a bill of rights for adult performers. She agreed with critics that the proposal needs to be overhauled. “I can’t support some of what is in the bill right now,” Gonzalez said.

While a copy of the union’s proposal for the new licensing legislation, obtained by NBC News, described it as a “bill of rights,” it also stipulated that applicants for a new adult entertainer license submit a full set of fingerprints, list their criminal history from the past three years and provide the address for each place they intend to work, among other requirements. Much of the language in the legislation mirrors the proposal.

Gullesserian, who is an exotic dancer and the founder of the International Entertainment Adult Union, was the one who lobbied for the bill. She said that all she wanted was to require that the state educate adult performers on issues they’ll face, from taxes and money management to preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

Gullesserian said that all of the members of the union’s board were involved in multiple phone calls with lawmakers on the proposal. However, according to audio of a Thursday night meeting of the leadership of the union and the Adult Performers Actors Guild, several board members said they weren’t aware that Gullesserian was talking to legislators about drafting a bill.Tyler Kingkade
