Two bills intended to strengthen safety on California movie sets stalled in the state legislature on Thursday, after Hollywood unions and major studios failed to agree on the best approach.” in Santa Fe, N.M. Actor Alec Baldwin fired a gun that was loaded with a live round, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding the film’s director.
But SB 831, by Sen. Dan Cortese, would have gone significantly farther. It would have codified the industry’s gun safety standards in state regulations. The regulations are the result of labor-management bargaining, and are currently voluntary, meaning the state has no power to enforce violations. The bill would also have required a “set safety supervisor,” who would be given the power to shut down a production if it appeared to be unsafe.
Cortese’s bill initially banned the use of real guns on set, but he backed off after industry stakeholders made the case for the continued necessity of using guns that can fire blank rounds. Portantino, who chairs the committee, put out a statement on Thursday saying he still hopes that the industry stakeholders can reach a consensus.
