AI Summary

This bill aims to promote Massachusetts artisans by providing a sales tax exemption for the sale of original artwork created by artisans in the state. To qualify for the exemption, the artwork must be sold directly to retail buyers by the artisan or the artisan's dealer, bear the artisan's original signature, and be accompanied by records of the sale. The bill defines key terms like "artisan," "artisan's dealer," and "artwork," and requires the commissioner to promulgate regulations for the implementation of this provision.
