Existing law regulates certain contracts for artistic employment between an unemancipated minor and third parties, including employment as an actor, dancer, musician, comedian, singer, stuntperson, voice-over artist, or other performer or entertainer, or sports participant. Existing law provides for the establishment of a trust for the purpose of preserving for the benefit of the minor 15% of the minor's gross earnings. This bill would require a vlogger, as defined, to compensate a minor under 18 years of age if the minor is engaged in the work of vlogging, as specified. The bill would require the vlogger to set aside gross earnings on the content in a trust account to be preserved for the benefit of the minor, as specified. The bill would also require the vlogger to prepare a written statement, under penalty of perjury, that includes specified information relating to the trust account. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would require the vlogger to maintain records, including, among others, the number of vlogs that generated compensation and the amount deposited into the trust account, and to provide them to the minor upon request. The bill would authorize the minor to enforce these provisions in court. The bill would require that these provisions do not apply to a contract for vlogging services between a minor and their parent or guardian only if a court approves the contract, as specified. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
