Relative to procurement services for artists. Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to exempt certain contracts or agreements related to artistic services, works of art, public art, and artifacts of a unique or intrinsic artistic character from the requirements of Chapter 30B, which governs public procurement. It also defines "artistic services" to include a wide range of artistic disciplines, such as visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, and emerging art forms. The purpose of these changes is to provide more flexibility in procuring artistic services and products for the state.
