A 6550 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts attorneys from the definition of theatrical employment agency

This bill amends New York's General Business Law and Arts and Cultural Affairs Law to explicitly exclude licensed attorneys from the legal definition of "theatrical employment agency." It directly affects attorneys in New York who may have previously been classified under this definition, removing them from regulations meant for agencies that place performers. The key mechanism is adding a specific exemption in two legal sections, clarifying that attorneys' work managing entertainment-related matters does not fall under this regulatory category. The change is purely definitional and does not create new requirements or alter existing laws for other entities.
