Human trafficking: notice: primary ticket sellers.
Summary
Existing law requires specified businesses and other establishments, including, among others, airports, intercity passenger rail or light rail stations, bus stations, and truck stops, to post a notice, as developed by the Department of Justice, that contains information relating to slavery and human trafficking, including information regarding specified nonprofit organizations that a person can call for services or support in the elimination of slavery and human trafficking. This bill would require a primary ticket seller, as defined, upon the purchase of a mobile or electronic ticket for an event at an entertainment facility, as defined, to include a notice with the ticket purchase confirmation electronically to the buyer that contains information relating to commercial sex and labor trafficking, including information regarding specified nonprofit organizations that a person can call or text for services or support in the elimination of slavery and human trafficking. The bill also would require the primary ticket seller to provide the notice in English, Spanish, and in one other language that is the most widely spoken language in the county where the entertainment facility is located and for which translation is mandated by the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.
