Bill > S85

This bill establishes the MassMade Program, which is overseen by the Massachusetts Office of Business Development. The program aims to identify, connect, and support businesses that produce consumer goods in the Commonwealth, address obstacles facing these businesses, and serve as a resource for consumers seeking Massachusetts-made products. The bill defines a "MassMade business" as an entity that produces consumer goods in Massachusetts, is headquartered or has a principal place of business in the state, is in good standing with the Department of Revenue, and seeks to join the program. The Office of Business Development is authorized to expend funds appropriated for the program and accept federal or private funding to support its activities. The bill also requires the Office to conduct a feasibility study on developing an internet-based system to facilitate information exchange for the MassMade Program, including procurement requests involving Massachusetts-made products.
