The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6881 aims to address issues related to arts, culture, and tourism in the state by mandating the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to conduct a comprehensive study on these sectors. The study will focus on encouraging investment and participation in arts, culture, and tourism. The Commissioner is required to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026.
This bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for the study and the subsequent reporting process, while there are no deletions from existing law noted in the text. The act is set to take effect upon passage, emphasizing the state's commitment to enhancing its arts, culture, and tourism sectors through informed policy-making.
