Bill > H1487

This bill aims to prohibit fraudulent representation of businesses against performing artists. It would make it unlawful for anyone claiming to be connected to the arts and entertainment industry, such as a talent agent or manager, to advertise or accept fees for securing employment opportunities in the field of show business when they cannot actually provide such employment. The bill empowers the Attorney General to seek injunctions against any violations and allows individuals affected by such unlawful actions to seek recourse under the state's consumer protection laws. Additionally, the Attorney General is required to establish rules and regulations to implement this new law, including methods to disseminate information about fraudulent entities and receive complaints from the public.
