Entertainment Work Permit for Minors
Entertainment Industry Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Requirements
The Labor Commissioner will not enforce the entertainment work permit provisions until further notice.
Beginning January 1, 2019, all talent agencies operating in California must provide their artists with educational materials on sexual harassment prevention, retaliation, reporting resources, nutrition and eating disorders.
Applicants for entertainment work permits for minors between the ages of 14 and 17 must also complete sexual harassment prevention training before obtaining a minor’s entertainment work permit.
