Assembly Member Lee's proposal to modify California's ticket seller regulations doubles the maximum penalties for violations while expanding enforcement authority to county counsels. The legislation increases both criminal fines and civil penalties from $2,500 to $5,000 per violation for ticket sellers who fail to maintain a permanent business address or proper local licensing.
The bill preserves existing requirements that ticket sellers operate from a fixed location, include their address in advertisements, and obtain necessary local permits. Each ticket sold or offered for sale in violation of these provisions continues to constitute a separate offense. Under the amended law, violations remain punishable as misdemeanors carrying potential jail terms up to six months in addition to monetary penalties.
By authorizing county counsels to pursue civil actions alongside the Attorney General, district attorneys, and city attorneys in large municipalities, the legislation expands the roster of officials empowered to enforce these regulations. The bill maintains that enforcement remedies are cumulative with other available penalties under state law, with civil penalty payments processed according to established Business and Professions Code procedures.
