(Wisconsin Radio Network) Legislation from both parties is targeting ticket scalpers in Wisconsin.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Democratic bill, named the SWIFTIE Act, would ban the use of artificial intelligence bots to artificially hoard tickets before fans would be able to buy them.

Under the Republican bill, individuals could still purchase and resell tickets, but there would be a $1,000 fine for ticket companies that violate the rules. Ticket retailers or event operators would also have to forfeit profits earned from any tickets sold.
