Halle & Jennifer Urge For Paparazzi Bill

Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner testified Tuesday before the Assembly Judiciary Committee on a bill that would change the definition of harassment to include photographing a child without the permission of a legal guardian.
 
It was Berry's second state Capitol appearance on the measure. Berry, who is pregnant, told lawmakers the constant presence of photographers has made her daughter scared to go to school.
Garner choked up describing how paparazzi aggressively follow her and her three children daily.

Media organizations are concerned the bill from Democratic Sen. Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles will interfere with news gathering. The bill passed and heads to the Appropriations Committee.
