Bill overview
This law, the "Event Online Ticket Sales Act", aims to protect consumers from unfair practices in the online sale of event tickets. It prohibits the use of automated programs, often called "bots", to purchase large quantities of tickets, ensuring a fairer opportunity for all fans. The law defines key terms like ‘bot’ and ‘entertainment event’ to clearly establish its scope. This legislation is tied to House Bill 4262 and will only go into effect if that bill is also passed.
