Council backs condoms for movies

In a bold attempt to regulate safe sex practices on adult film sets, City Council members tentatively approved a measure on Tuesday that would require the use of condoms in order to get film permits. Daily News,

The City Council ordinance caps months of debate at City Hall over how - and if - to oversee a billion-dollar industry accused of skirting local filming regulations. Similar attempts by groups to monitor condom use in the adult film industry have been met with threats of lawsuits and cries of Big Brother government.

The City Council voted 11 to 1, with Councilman Mitch Englander casting the dissenting vote. A final procedural vote is set for Tuesday.
