Legal

FSC will launch our 11th Celebrating Free Speech Lobby Day on April 20th and 21st in Sacramento. These events help to serve two purposes:

1. It introduces state legislators to the industry in a very personal way - they see the faces of the people who work in the industry.

2. We get the opportunity to tell California legislators the truth about our industry and the vital role it plays in the California economy, as well as in the lives of Californians.

Last year a number of industry leaders joined us as we lobbied against a multi-tiered tax on adult entertainment products and services. And we were victorious, providing enough pressure on the bill's sponsor Assembly Member Calderon that he never brought the bill to committee for a vote.

Legislation that is being bantered about this year includes additional taxes upon adult entertainment and additional government regulation of production sets. It is critical that our elected officials comprehend the vital role this industry plays in our economy so they understand that what's bad for the adult entertainment industry is bad for California.
