AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 30B of the General Laws to exempt contracts or agreements to repair, purchase, or commission artistic services, works of art, public art, and/or artifacts of a unique or intrinsic artistic character from the procurement requirements outlined in Chapter 30B. It also defines "artistic services" to include a wide range of artistic disciplines, such as visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, and various other forms of art. This change aims to facilitate the procurement of artistic services and artworks for the state, recognizing the unique nature of these types of services and products.
