Bill > H500

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate whether allowing private companies to advertise on city and town school buses is a practical way to generate income, and also to examine the feasibility of advertising on state websites for revenue generation. The commission will be composed of three members from the Senate, five from the House of Representatives, and three appointed by the governor. Their study will consider important aspects such as determining fair payment for the use of state property, the process for reviewing and approving advertisements, and the legal authority of state agencies to sell advertising space. The commission is required to present its findings in a report within 270 days of its initial meeting.
