S 9662 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Exempts attorneys from the definition of theatrical employment agency

This bill clarifies that lawyers admitted to practice in New York State are not considered theatrical employment agencies under state law. By explicitly excluding attorneys from this definition, the legislation ensures they are not subject to regulations designed for agencies that place artists in entertainment roles. The change applies immediately across the General Business Law and the Arts and Cultural Affairs Law, removing any ambiguity about whether legal professionals fall under these specific employment rules.
