2002 Minnesota Statutes

     184A.18 Agency conduct. 

    Subdivision 1.    Unlawful employment.  No entertainment 
 agent shall place or assist in placing a person in unlawful 
 employment.  

    Subd. 2.    Strike or lockout.  No entertainment agent 
 shall fail to state in an advertisement, proposal, or contract 
 for employment, that there is a strike or lockout at the place 
 of proposed employment if the agent has knowledge that this 
 condition exists.  

    Subd. 3.    Repayment.  In the event that an 
 entertainment agency shall collect from an artist a fee or 
 expenses for obtaining employment for the artist, and the artist 
 shall fail to procure the employment, or the artist shall fail 
 to be paid for the employment, the entertainment agency shall, 
 upon demand, repay to the artist the full amount of the fee and 
 expenses actually collected.  

    Subd. 4.    Actions.  Actions brought in any court 
 against a licensee may be brought in the name of the person 
 damaged upon the bond deposited with the state by the licensee, 
 and may be transferred and assigned as other claims for 
 damages.  The amount of damages claimed by plaintiff, and not 
 the penalty named in the bond, determines the jurisdiction of 
 the court in which the action is brought.  

    Subd. 5.    Service on departed licensee.  When a 
 licensee has departed from the state with intent to defraud 
 creditors or to avoid service of summons in an action brought 
 under sections 184A.01 to 184A.20, service shall be made upon 
 the surety as prescribed in the rules of civil procedure.  A 
 copy of the summons shall be mailed to the licensee at the last 
 known post office address of the licensee's residence and also 
 at the place where the business of the entertainment agency was 
 conducted as shown by the records of the department.  Service is 
 complete as to the licensee, after mailing, at the expiration of 
 the time prescribed by the rules of civil procedure for service 
 of summons in the particular court in which suit is brought.
