The number of film permits issued to pornography producers has dropped 95 percent in Los Angeles County since a condom mandate went into effect last January.

Only 24 permits for adult films have been filed so far in LA County in 2013, compared with 480 filed in the same period last year, according to the Free Speech Coalition, the adult film industry trade group. Film permits are legally required for filming outside of a certified sound stage or studio backlot, whether the filming is conducted on public or private property.
