There were seventeen initiatives on the general election ballot in California this year. Proposition 60, the Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative, would have required "adult film producers to provide condoms and ensure that performers use them."

It failed by a vote of 53.94 to 46.06 percent.

California is a leading producer of pornographic films in the United States. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) already requires condom use during sex in pornographic films, but "generally enforces these rules by responding to complaints." During the last two years, Cal/OSHA has cited only four production companies for violations of the condom rules. Moreover, in 2012, the Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance that mandated the use of condoms by pornography actors on location. L
