2257 now Adam Walsh Act? Hollywood off the hook?

Thu Jul 20, 3:07 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) - The Senate could vote as early as Thursday on legislation that would increase Hollywood's record-keeping requirements for movies and TV shows carrying steamy love scenes.

While the central focus of the legislation is the establishment of a national sex offender registry, it includes a provision that would require Hollywood studios to ensure that they keep records of the ages of the actors who pretend to have sex in motion pictures and TV programs.

According to Senate leadership aides, approval of what is now being called the Adam Walsh Act is expected to come as early as Thursday. The House is expected to accept the Senate's version of the bill with an eye toward getting President Bush to sign it into law July 27, the aides said.
