Bill Summary

For legislation to the sale of original works of art. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill would exempt the sale of original works of art from the state sales tax in Massachusetts. It defines an "original work of art" as a painting, sculpture, print, photograph, or other handmade piece created by an artist with a principal place of business in Massachusetts, as long as the work sells for no more than $5,000. This change aims to support the state's creative economy by encouraging the sale of locally-produced art.
