AB 1272, as introduced, Grove. Ticket sellers.
Existing law requires a ticket seller to have a permanent business address that shall be included in any advertisement and from which tickets may only be sold and requires the ticket seller to be licensed as may be required by a local jurisdiction. A violation of these provisions is a crime and is subject to a civil penalty.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
