Hey Folks... I could answer this myself if I had time to research it
because I am sure that it is somewhere in the California Labor Code,
but I'm in a rush!  Talent agents are the ONLY licensed entities in
California allowed to PROCURE or SOLICIT work on behalf of their
clients... TALENT MANAGERS are NOT allowed to: Can someone find me a
link to the code page where this article is defined?  THANKS!

I believe that what you have in mind are the regulations of the Talent
Agencies Act, California Labor Code 1700:

"1700.4. (a) "Talent agency" means a person or corporation who engages
in the occupation of procuring, offering, promising, or attempting to
procure employment or engagements for an artist or artists, except
that the activities of procuring, offering, or promising to procure
recording contracts for an artist or artists shall not of itself
subject a person or corporation to regulation and licensing under this
chapter. Talent agencies may, in addition, counsel or direct artists
in the development of their professional careers.

[...]

1700.5. No person shall engage in or carry on the occupation of a
talent agency without first procuring a license therefor from the
Labor Commissioner. (...)"

Since a talent manager or personal manager is an individual or a
corporation NOT having a license as defined in 1700.5, this should be
the legal basis you were thinking of.

Is that what you were looking for? Please let me know.

Scriptor
