Most adult agents are not licensed or bonded by the state, but dont expect California to start enforcing these laws. The Labor Division has basically been stripped of its power of enforcement and theres really no criminal investigations occurring in regards to agents.

Licensed and bonded doesnt always mean that the performers will be better represented or treated better. And for the most part, unless the agent is complying with all of the regs of a licensed and bonded agent is required to the license really means nothing. My advice to any performer is to talk with other performers before selecting an agent, interview that agent and question them as to how they are going to best represent you. Read any contract put before you by the agent and seek legal advice before signing it. And try to stay with the top 4 agents in the biz, you will probably get more work in the long run.
