Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was joined Thursday by state lawmakers and other officials to sign a four-bill package of legislation aimed at targeting deceptive and fraudulent business practices.
The new consumer-focused laws have been introduced for multiple years and have been a collaborative effort between Pritzker, Attorney General Kwame Raoul and state lawmakers.
At independent Chicago venue Concord Music Hall, founder of the venue and music festival Riot Fest, Mike Petryshyn celebrated a number of bills signed by the governor that he said will support event attendees when buying tickets.
The pair of laws will make it illegal to use automated bots to purchase tickets to events and for ticket sellers and resellers to sell non-existent tickets.
