Section 37.05. Theatrical employment; financial investigations and security

A  theatrical  employment  agent  shall  investigate  whether or not any
  employer (person, firm or corporation) who is offering employment to  an
  applicant for employment, has defaulted in the payment of salaries, fees
  or  other  compensation  to  any performer or group of performers or has
  left stranded any performing companies or individuals or groups,  during
  the five years preceding the date of the application. An agent shall not
  procure or undertake to procure employment or engagements on the part of
  any  performer or groups of performers for an employer who has failed to
  pay salaries, fees or other compensation, or who has left  stranded  any
  performer  or  groups  of  performers  or  any  performing  companies or
  individuals during the five years preceding the date of the application,
  unless  such  employer  (person,  firm  or  corporation)  shall  provide
  sufficient   security  for  the  direct  benefit  of  the  performer  or
  performers and in an amount ample to pay  the  performer  or  performers
  their  full  compensation  for  the  specified  employment or engagement
  designated in the employment or engagement contract. The  provisions  of
  this section shall not apply to employment or engagements in modeling.
