AI Summary

This bill, the Artistic Recognition for Talented Students Act (ARTS Act), amends the United States Copyright Code to require the Register of Copyrights to waive the application fee for registering a copyright claim on a work that wins either the Congressional Institute's art competition for high school students or the competition established under House Resolution 77 from the 113th Congress.
