Stronger ticket-buyer protections and new fines

Michigan's attorney general can investigate claims of Event Online Ticket Sales Act violations and seek court orders stopping ongoing or imminent violations. After violations occur, the attorney general can seek court relief, including fines and money back for affected buyers. Violators face civil fines up to $5,000 per violation, with each ticket acquired illegally counting separately. These fines go to the state general fund. Breaking an enforcing court order or injunction also carries a civil fine up to $5,000. Courts can award the attorney general reasonable costs and attorney fees when a case results in a civil fine. The law's taking effect was tied to enactment of Senate Bill 158 of the 103rd Legislature.
