Last week, the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) announced that it was taking its Performer Availability Screening Services (PASS) system offline due to “an inconsistency in the way a handful of recent tests were processed.” In its statement, FSC also said “we ask that all production halt.”
The organization has issued another update, which can be read in full below and on the FSC website here.

The mandatory production hold called on Wednesday, March 17 is still in effect. We do not believe there are any active cases of syphilis or HIV in the talent community, but need to clear all talent who recently tested with THL before we can lift the hold.
We have been in contact with all affected talent. All who have retested are now clear. We expect to have the few remaining test results back on Tuesday. Once we are able to clear those, we should be able to lift the mandatory hold and open PASS. However, the voluntary hold will remain in effect.
Please email us at pass@freespeechcoalition.com with any questions.
