TSWIFT consumer protection bill on ticket sales still in the House

Contact: Candice Bock, Sheila Gall

Another bill that did not pass the House before cutoff was HB 1648, the TSWIFT consumer protection act. The amended version no longer included provisions of concern to cities that would have preempted local government regulation and potentially impacted to city and PFD admissions tax authority.

The bill would have imposed new protections on event ticket sales and violations for bypassing ticket sales security technology. It also would have established new licensing requirements for ticket sellers.
