An Act to sell naming rights to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center and other properties operated by the MCCA

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority to sell or license naming rights for its facilities, such as the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center and other properties. The legislation requires the Authority to issue a request for proposals within 180 days of enactment, keeping the bidding process open for at least 120 days, while ensuring the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center retains its current name. Any revenue generated from these sales must be split evenly between the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism and the Massachusetts Cultural Council to fund statewide tourism promotion and cultural programming.
