 5 place. Such account shall include the name and a photo of the seller
 6 which shall be verified by the marketplace by being sent a copy of
 7 government issued photo identification. Purchasers shall be shown the
 8 name and photo of the seller before being allowed to complete the trans-
 9 action.
 10 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 11 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to section
 12 25.23 of the arts and cultural affairs law made by section one of this
 13 act shall not affect the repeal and reversion of such section and shall
 14 be deemed repealed therewith.
