Prop porn Emily Holland Special to Mustang News
While most people have to get dressed for work, adult film star Chanel Preston starts her work shift by getting undressed. However, Proposition 60 may start requiring those in the industry to wear a different kind of uniform. Prop 60, the Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative, is up for vote in California this election. The initiative will require porn stars to wear condoms while filming pornographic videos, but Preston and many others in the adult film industry are strongly opposed to the bill. “While Prop 60 is under the
guise of a condom mandate, there’s so much more to it. It doesn’t keep performers more safe like it claims it will,” Preston said. “Most people are unaware of how well our current regulation system works.” The details of the bill are concerning for everyone in the industry; they vinclude: required condom usage, additional regulations and licensing, funding and a whistleblowing clause. The proposition is opposed by the California Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties as well as The L.A. Times and a long list of other organizations. Continued on page 3

California is one of the 20 states in which the death penalty is legal. This measure would repeal the state death penalty and replace the maximum punishment for murder with life imprisonment without possibility of parole. To those already sentenced to death, this would apply retroactively. It would also require all convicted murderers to pay debts to the victims of the crimes committed by working in prison — up to 60 percent of earnings could be deducted to pay for these debts.
you’re voting to repeal the death penalty and replace the maximum sentence for murder to life imprisonment without possibility of parole.

63 About 63 Prop 63 would require people to obtain a four-year permit from the California Department of Justice if they would like to buy ammunition. Dealers would then have to check the permit before selling ammunition to anyone (like checking an ID for alcohol). The permit may cost up to $50, and the money would go toward administrative and enforcement costs for the Department of Justice. In addition, stealing a gun would now be a felony with a prison sentence of up to three years.

This would repeal Prop 227 from 1998, and would no longer require English-only education for students learning English. Schools would be allowed to include bilingual education, and it would get rid of the parent waiver currently needed to take non-English-only classes. How to teach English to non-English speakers would become a local issue, with annual feedback from parents and the community.

This proposition would increase the cigarette tax by $2 per pack, with an equivalent increase on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes that contain nicotine. It would increase state revenue between $1 billion to $1.4 billion in 2017-18. Revenue would go toward physician training, prevention/ treatment of dental diseases, Medi-Cal, tobacco-use prevention, research into cancer, heart, and lung diseases and school programs on tobacco-use prevention and reduction. It would not change how the current 87 cent tobacco tax is used.
