Committee adds Office of Consumer Protection to task force on ticket scalping and advances measure
Summary
The committee amended and passed SCR173 SD1 to convene a task force on event ticket scalping; witnesses urged including both primary and secondary sellers, OCP asked to be a named member and offered to help compile the report, and testimony cited concerns about professional resellers pricing out Hawai'i fans.
The House Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce on April 16 amended and advanced SCR173 SD1, a resolution to convene a task force to address event ticket scalping in Hawai'i.
Mana Moriarty, Executive Director of the DCCA Office of Consumer Protection, told the committee OCP submitted comments and asked to be named as a member of the task force rather than only being listed among stakeholders to be "engaged."
