The music business is notorious for attracting its share of liars, cheats and thieves.
The Legislature is doing its part to make sure of one thing -- that when you pay to see The Platters, The Coasters or The Drifters, that's who's on stage.
During this legislative session, the state House will vote on the Truth in Musical Performance bill that was unanimously approved by the state Senate in November.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Robert Robbins, R-Mercer, includes fines of $5,000 to $15,000 for staging a concert "through the use of a false, deceptive or misleading affiliation, connection or association" with a musical group.
South Carolina and North Dakota have approved similar legislation. New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois lawmakers are considering versions of truth-in-music bills.
