An Act to support MassMakers

This bill establishes the MassMakers Act to create a unified online portal that serves as a single entry point for businesses to access information and comply with state regulations. It defines specific categories of local enterprises, such as microbusinesses and Massachusetts-based businesses, to ensure they are recognized within the state's economic framework. The legislation also mandates that state agencies include diversity and inclusion plans in their bidding processes and gives weight to bids from companies with a principal place of business in Massachusetts. Additionally, the bill sets up programs like Supply Mass/Buy Mass to connect local suppliers with local purchasers and expands the Mass Main Streets office to support downtown revitalization.
