Bill > H2724

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate the potential creation of a fund to support safety and sustainability for nonprofit public events in Massachusetts. The commission will be comprised of nine members, including representatives from state agencies (the Secretary of Public Safety and the Director of Massachusetts Office on Travel and Tourism), two state legislators (one from the Senate and one from the House of Representatives), two members selected by the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, and two members selected by the Massachusetts Municipal Association. The commission's primary responsibilities include reviewing the costs associated with security and sustainability for nonprofit events, recommending appropriate funding sources to offset these costs, and developing proposed amendments to existing law. The commission is required to file its recommendations and any proposed legislation with the Senate and House clerks within 120 days of the bill's passage. By creating this commission, the bill aims to provide financial support and strategic guidance to help nonprofit organizations more effectively and safely host public events in Massachusetts.
