Bill Summary
The bill requires venues to refund to a payer any payments made for an event at the venue and subsequently canceled as a result of the public health emergency declared by the Governor in Executive Order 103 of 2020 concerning the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, or as a result of actions taken by businesses or individuals due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic that rendered the occurrence of the event impossible. Additionally, if an individual requests to reschedule an event at a venue as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the venue is not to charge additional fees that are greater than the rate of inflation. The rate of inflation is to be calculated from the date on which a deposit was given by the payer to a venue to the date on which a request to reschedule was received by the venue.
