AI Summary
This bill, known as the Artistic Recognition for Talented Students Act (ARTS Act), amends Section 708 of Title 17 of the United States Code to allow the Register of Copyrights to waive the fees for filing an application to register a copyright claim for works that win certain art competitions. Specifically, the bill covers works that win art competitions sponsored by the Congressional Institute that are open only to high school students, as well as the competition described in Section 3 of H. Res. 77 from the 113th Congress. The bill requires the Register to waive the application fee if the registration is filed by the end of the calendar year following the year in which the work won the competition, and allows the Register to waive the fee for applications filed after that deadline if the fee would have been waived had the application been submitted on time.
