Summary

Existing law provides for the comprehensive regulation of ticket sellers, and, among other things, requires disclosure of specified information to consumers and the maintenance of records and a permanent business address. Existing law provides that a violation of the laws regulating ticket sellers is a misdemeanor. This bill would additionally provide that a person who intentionally uses software to circumvent a security measure, access control system, or other control or measure on a ticket seller's Internet Web site that is used to ensure an equitable ticket buying process is guilty of a misdemeanor. Because this bill would create a new crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
