The proposed legislation, known as the Event Online Ticket Sales Act, aims to regulate the online sale of tickets for entertainment events in Michigan and specifically prohibits the use of automated software applications, or "bots," for purchasing tickets. The bill defines key terms such as "bot," "entertainment event," "person," "ticket," and "ticket purchasing limit," establishing a framework for understanding the scope of the law. It outlines that an entertainment event must be open to the public, held in a venue, and charge an admission fee.

Under the new regulations, individuals and entities are prohibited from using bots to exceed ticket purchasing limits, utilize multiple accounts or addresses to bypass these limits, or circumvent security measures designed to prevent fraudulent ticket sales. The act will only take effect if House Bill No. 4262 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law, ensuring that the provisions work in conjunction with existing legislation.
