House Bill No. 5661 is designed to regulate the online sale of tickets for entertainment events within the state.

The bill defines relevant terms such as "bot," "entertainment event," "person," and "ticket," and outlines prohibited actions related to the online purchase of event tickets. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of either Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5662 of the 102nd Legislature. This legislation is referred to as the "event online ticket sales act."
