I saw this story but naturally Im a bit skeptical

for starters my read was that most porners are taking more of a wait and see attitude to see what the enforcement mechanism will be, that could add more ammo to the suit should it become necessary

At first it looked like AHF would quietly let it die down then last week they sued LA County for not enforcing it all along....which puts LA County in an interesting position...sued from both sides

They key word here is "intend" they havent sued yet and with Manwin possibly out of the picture due to Fabians arrest in Germany funding this lawsuit may be an issue, specially when it's a likely loser. While I have lots of respect for Louis Sirkin this one wont be easy by any stretch

and finally this may just be running a flag up a flagpole to see if they can even get the donations to follow through.

The whole thing could also backfire. Claiming that its not in LA jurisdiction but a Cal-OSHA state level matter could bring more attention on the enforcement issue by the state, pushing them to have to enforce it which is a worse situation for porners I expect, though it may nullify the licensing issue and that may be all they really want anyway

The challenge on constitutional grounds is the one that would have the most promise though I expect it's unlikely to survive that one except MAYBE and i do mean a slim chance that it could be seen as a prior restraint on free speech.

Im no lawyer but from a political and logical perspective I expect this is grasping at straws if it even happens.
