Bill > S149

This bill establishes the MassMade Program, which will be run by the Massachusetts Office of Business Development. The program aims to identify, connect, and support businesses that produce consumer goods in Massachusetts, address obstacles these businesses face, and provide information to consumers about products made in the state. The bill defines a "MassMade business" as any entity that produces consumer goods in Massachusetts, is headquartered or has a principal place of business in the state, has a certificate of good standing from the Department of Revenue, and seeks to join the program. The Office of Business Development can expend funds for the program and accept federal or private funding. Additionally, the bill requires the Office to conduct a feasibility study on developing an internet-based system to facilitate information exchange related to procurement of products made in Massachusetts.
