This bill provides for the creation of a commemorative memorial portrait of State Representative Doris Bunte in the Massachusetts State House, along with establishing an annual scholarship fund in her honor. Specifically, the bill requires the superintendent of the state house bureau to install a portrait of Representative Bunte in a suitable location within the State House, with the placement and details subject to approval by the art commission. The bill also mandates consultation with the House Committee on Rules and the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus regarding the portrait's location. Additionally, the bill establishes an annual $250,000 scholarship fund in Bunte's name, which will be managed and disbursed by the Massachusetts Black & Latino Legislative Caucus. This resolution appears to be a way of honoring Representative Bunte's legacy and contributions, likely recognizing her significance as a state representative and her impact on the Massachusetts legislative community.
