SB 132's Section 3 adds Labor Code Part 13 (operative January 1, 2025). For any motion picture production in California (defined to include television, streaming, commercials and music videos), firearms and blanks may be used only under the custody and control of a qualified property master or armorer who has no other duties while preparing for and during firearm use, a safety meeting per committee bulletins, an identified compliance contact, and training by CSATF's firearms course or equivalent. Ammunition is barred except for narrow listed exceptions. A pilot program (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030) for tax-credit productions adds a dedicated safety advisor and written risk assessments, with specific risk assessments for firearms, major pyrotechnics and explosives, major stunts, process shot moves, aircraft or trains, vehicles off road, open-water watercraft and workweeks above 60 hours. These categories can be tagged from a script and schedule.
