AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority to develop regulations for the placement, maintenance, and operation of tourism promotion kiosks in certain convention centers and train stations across the Commonwealth. The regulations will limit the number of kiosks to no more than one per county, establish a process for regional tourism and hospitality organizations to apply for kiosk space, and set requirements for the size, appearance, and staffing of the kiosks. Importantly, the bill prohibits the Authority or the Commonwealth from bearing any costs related to the kiosks.
