Porno Dan is far more informed than me on these issues and I don't shoot boy/girl so no dog in this fight... but I'm not so convinced this nation will start shooting condom porn just because some guys in LA want to make that the norm.
I don't blame Dan for raising the alarm and putting the fear of arrest into people - if I were shooting condom porn I wouldn't want my competition shooting raw dog either.

What is certain is that Cal-OSHA is about to submit (or already have) new regs that are adult industry specific to Fed-OSHA for approval (as is necessary). If Fed-OSHA approves those adult industry specific regs for Cal-OSHA they are in essence approved for all of the US. Any state that chooses to -- can incorporate those regs into their OSHA laws.
Meaning that if Nevada and Florida or any other state does, they can very easily do what Cal-OSHA is doing in regards to regulating porn and condoms. There will be no need for a vote by the public or an Assembly/Senate Bill. A few members of each state's OSHA Board will just need to vote on and accept the new regs. If they do then condoms can become mandatory in any state. Weinstein wont need to push anyone. It will become the new way to get rid of porn from a state that necessary want it.
Here in Cali, Simi Valley and Ventura County passed similar laws to Measure B once that passed the voters. Not because they had a ton of shoots happening in their town - because they wanted to send a message to the industry to stay away. Weinstein didnt have to pressure them to do it.
And BTW the regs dont just apply to B/G - G/G will need dental dams.
