ANTI-IMPOSTER MUSIC LAW PASSES NEW JERSEY SENATE

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – New Jersey’s Senate has passed a bill to prohibit imposter bands. The measure would make it a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act for any person to use the name of a famous band without having at least one original member. Members of Sha Na Na and The Drifters had lobbied lawmakers to pass the law. The measure has been considered in New Jersey’s Assembly but has not come up for a vote. Similar laws have been passed in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Illinois.
