Trade: consumer goods and services; requirements for third-party ticket sales; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) & adds sec. 3p.
HB 4266 amends Michigan's Consumer Protection Act to add Section 3p, targeting deceptive practices in third-party ticket sales. It requires sellers offering prizes (e.g., "free tickets") as incentives to purchase tickets to provide clear, written disclosures in bold 10-point font before the sale. These disclosures must include the prize's cash value, full terms, and a statement that a sales presentation is required to claim it. The law directly affects third-party ticket sellers (like resellers) and protects consumers from being misled into attending sales pitches under false promises of free offers. This is a specific policy change to prevent deceptive sales tactics, not a broader ticket pricing rule.
