New legislation to expand Hollywood’s safety rules could be signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., by the end of the week.

Details on the bill were revealed on Saturday as the state moves closer to its June 30 deadline to sign off on the 2023-24 state budget. The latest film industry-centered legislation will be one of nearly two dozen budget-related bills that Newsom is expected to sign into law on Tuesday.

Notably, the bill focused on introducing new safety guidelines on sets in response to the fatal shooting on the set of the film "Rust" by the movie star Alec Baldwin.

"The studios want refundability and have been wanting to have more access to these dollars. The unions have been advocating for set safety supervision, given what happened on the ‘Rust’ set. ... On both ends, this was an agreeable compromise to see if it works." Los Angeles Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, who helped craft the legislation, told the L.A. Times.

The new safety requirements will include having all prop masters and armorers handling weapons to take part in firearms training and have a special state permit. Productions will also be required to have a safety advisor to perform a risk assessment and be on set during filming.

Baldwin, who also served as the producer on "Rust," originally faced involuntary manslaughter charges after a gun he held for a scene fired a real bullet at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She later died because of her injuries, halting production on the film.

In April, the charges against Baldwin were dropped with special prosecutors citing "new facts" into the case requiring further investigation. A settlement regarding a wrongful death lawsuit was later approved by a judge in June, though the actor still faces civil lawsuits by "Rust" script supervisor Mamie Mitchell along with Hutchins’ family.

In the meantime, "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed continued to face two counts of involuntary manslaughter regarding Hutchins’ death. On Friday, she was also accused of transferring "narcotics to another person with the intent to prevent the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of herself." Her lawyer denounced the accusation as "retaliatory and vindictive."

Along with new safety measures, the upcoming bill will extend the film and television tax credit for five more years and add a new "refundable" feature to allow studios to receive cash payments if their credits are larger than their tax bills.

These tax credits, however, will hinge upon new diversity requirements drafted up by Democratic lawmakers. Portions of the tax credit will be dependent on meeting diversity targets in production along with job training programs in community colleges to primarily focus on students of color. The state film commission will also be required to add a member with expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion.

Eight puppies were discovered by a "Good Samaritan" in a garbage bag during a heat wave in Austin, animal rescue officials said.

The puppies, who were only two or three days old, were all in critical condition on Thursday. One of the puppies passed away, but the other seven are recovering.

"We received a call that a Good Samaritan had brought in a litter of puppies that were found in a garbage bag right next to a dumpster," President and CEO of Austin Pets Alive! Ellen Jefferson told FOX 7 Austin. "They probably saw them writhing around in the bag and did something, and that is huge."

Veterinarians and medical experts worked around the clock to heal the puppies, who were sweltering in the triple-digit heat. The pups were hungry and under extreme stress, which made them hypoglycemic.

Jefferson said that the puppies were probably left at the dumpster the day they were found, and could have died if they stayed for more than a day.

"I know they would have died if they had been out there in the storm the other night, or if they had been there, you know, longer than the day. So my guess is that they were probably placed by the trash that morning," Jefferson said, adding that the suspect's actions were unacceptable.

"I try to have empathy for the person that did that. They must have been in a really bad situation to feel like that was their only course of action, but it is heartbreaking, and it's just not acceptable," she explained. "It's cruel to the animals and there are other options out there."

Austin Pets Alive! is currently looking for volunteers to foster the pups.

"We know that our community really cares, and it's not just on the animal shelter to solve problems like this," Jefferson said. "We can connect the dots and help somebody who wants to help these little babies survive and go on to live wonderful lives. That's a win-win."

Local resident Sanaz Mozafarian told FOX 7 that she's fostering three of the puppies.

"They're so cute. I'm just really hoping to bring them home and give them some love and some warmth and help them to grow up," Mozafarian said.

"Our immediate need is support for the critical medical attention they deserve," Jefferson told Fox News Digital. "It can cost over $1000 per puppy to provide basic medical care and supplies, so we ask people who can support Austin Pets Alive!’s lifesaving efforts to donate directly on our website."

"We want anyone anywhere to know that there are better options in times of need," the statement added.
