   13         Section 1.  Present subsections (1) through (5) of section
   14  817.36, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as subsections (2)
   15  through (6), respectively, present subsection (6) of that
   16  section is redesignated as new subsection (1), and subsections
   17  (7) and (8) are added to that section, to read:

   20  paragraph (2)(b), or paragraph (2)(c), any ticket may be sold as

   32  discriminate against, or deny access to an event to a person who
   33  purchases or resells a ticket in a manner authorized by this
   34  section.
   35         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2022.
