Bill > S2333

This bill amends Chapter 23A by adding a new provision that requires grants allocated to regional tourism councils through the Massachusetts Tourism Trust Fund to be distributed by October 1st of the fiscal year for which they are allocated. In plain language, this means that state tourism funding for regional councils must be disbursed early in the fiscal year, providing these organizations with timely financial resources to support local tourism development and promotion. The bill aims to ensure more predictable and prompt funding for regional tourism councils, which play a key role in attracting visitors and supporting local economies by marketing regional attractions, coordinating tourism efforts, and driving economic development through tourism-related activities.
