California's Senate Bill 735, also known as the 'Protect Everyone on the Set from Alec Baldwin Act of 2023,' introduces stringent new safety regulations for film productions, particularly concerning firearms. The bill mandates the hiring of safety advisors, daily safety meetings, independent post-production safety evaluations, and requires state licensing and training for armorers and anyone handling firearms on set. It also prohibits live ammunition on set and allows for state inspections, potentially increasing production costs significantly and driving the film industry out of California.
California Senate Bill 735 proposes significant restrictions on firearms and ammunition for 'motion picture productions,' broadly defined to include YouTube content. The bill aims to enhance safety on film sets but could inadvertently ban armed security and law enforcement from protecting political elites and create gun-free zones around filming areas. The legislation's broad definitions and potential impact on individuals carrying firearms for self-defense or professional duties are highlighted as major concerns.
