New Regulation for Public Entertainment in Mexicali (Monitor Economico, 11/29/12)
Mexical, BC – The Regidores Commission of the Municipality of Mexicali adopted a new regulation for public shows, which seeks to protect the buyer against fraud. After a unanimous vote by the members of the Joint Commission of Government and Legislation, Tourism and Economic Development, the new regulation will be submitted for consideration by the Cabildo de Mexicali and will subsequently come into force in case of approval.
The regulation seeks to avoid fraud in the field of entertainment, establishing the concept of "ticketing" for specialized companies, ensuring that in case of a no-show by the artist, money is to be returned entirely to the buyer. Similarly bails are set for all events that take place in the municipality, as well as establish a unique calendar of events and a database of promoters.
The proposal was submitted by Councilor Claudia Ramirez, who analyzed and advised the members of the joint committees as well as various units involved in the topic. Regulations on the subject were approved at a meeting of Cabildo in 1989. To date it has not undergone any modification and would be replaced.
Councilor Carmen Frías stated that this new regulation will not only give greater security to consumers of money in the event of the suspension of an event, but also an insurance policy of civil liability for events, inspections, surveillance and sanctions shall be required.
For the new regulation to enter into force it must be approved in a session of Cabildo, to subsequently be published in the official State newspaper. http://monitoreconomico.org/noticias/2012/nov/29/nuevo-reglamento-para-espectaculos-publicos-en-mexicali/
