2022: The year California’s TAA will be enforced as written?
At any time, empowered by the Legislature’s giving the administrative agency the power to “adopt, amend, and repeal such rules and regulations as are reasonably necessary for the purpose of enforcing and administering” the Talent Agencies Act to remain consistent with how the act has been codified, the enforcement can be corrected.

Rick Siegel
Rick is a former personal manager who is often engaged as an expert witness on the history, construction and application of the Talent Agencies Act.
In 1967, the California Court of Appeal found that Jefferson Airplane's personal manager had worked to get the band gigs without first applying for and receiving a talent agency license, as required by the state's Talent Agencies Act (Labor Code Section 1700 et seq.). As a penalty for the unlicensed procurement, the court voided the manager's contractual rights. See Buchwald v. Superior Court, 254 Cal. App. 2d 347.
