A big win for @nivacalifornia@nivassoc with passage of #SB785 yesterday through Assembly Privacy Committee 9-0! Thank you to the Members who voted AYE & listened to the indie venue operators who made the trip to Sacramento to support a bill that truly helps artists, fans (consumers), and venues!
The new music venue specific Type 90 liquor license is live in California and our members have been applying!
Own or operate a music venue? You can apply for Type 90 and sell your 47 or 48!

The answer to protect fans is not allowing unlimited secondary market activity. Indie and non-profit venues deal with fake tickets from these platforms EVERY NIGHT. Guardrails on transferability and penalties on platforms and bad actors that sell fake tickets will truly empower fans @nivacalifornia

AB 2808 empowers secondary resellers in CA and hurts artists, fans and venues. @BuffyWicks can do better. cc: @EmpowerFansCA aka @StubHub

Without significant amendments, #AB2808 will hurt CA indie and non profit stages. @BuffyWicks , when you listen to artists and venues, you pass stronger legislation!
Indie venues from all over CA met in Sacramento yesterday to talk ticketing policy. Special thanks to long time night life advocate @Scott_Wiener and members @AsmJoePatterson@asmtasha@MSantiagoAD54 and their staff for engaging with the NIVA CA team!
🎭 California has a long tradition of live events, held across the state in sectors that range from athletics, to awards shows, to opera.
I was happy to hear perspectives from individuals who represent California's venues bringing us important exposure to art and culture. #CAleg
