Full Legal Analysis
The bill establishes prohibitions against the use of automated software applications, or 'bots', for purchasing tickets to entertainment events in Michigan. The absence of specified penalties for violations and exceptions or exemptions in this analysis is due to the lack of available bill text, not necessarily because they are not included in the bill. Additionally, the bill is tie-barred with HB 4262'25, meaning its enactment is contingent upon the passage of that bill. Without the full bill text, it is unclear if the bill includes definitions related to what constitutes an 'automated program' or 'bot'.
