An Act relative to tourism marketing and promotion grants

This bill sets specific deadlines for distributing tourism marketing grants from the Massachusetts Tourism Trust Fund. It requires at least 50% of annual grant funds to be distributed to regional tourism councils by September 1st each fiscal year, with the remaining funds allocated by December 1st. The bill directly affects regional tourism councils that receive these state grants for marketing and promotion activities. It modifies the existing distribution process without creating new funding or altering program eligibility. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on timing requirements for existing grant disbursements.
