Formal correction request — received by DIR
2026 Request for Correction and Clarification
The determination describes the June 23, 2003 Operating Agreement as calling for a “new California Limited Liability Company.” Data from the official Nevada Secretary of State record show Todd Entertainment, LLC was formed as a Nevada domestic limited-liability company on February 4, 2003, with Todd Meagher and Josh Todd identified as managing members. A company formed on February 4, 2003 could not have been created by an agreement executed on June 23, 2003.
On August 31, 2026, Meagher submitted a formal Request for Correction, Clarification, and Annotation concerning TAC No. 13418 to the California Department of Industrial Relations Talent Agency Unit. DIR acknowledged receipt on August 31, 2026.
Status: Pending substantive response.
The correction request itself and the DIR acknowledgment of receipt have not yet been supplied for public posting.
