An Act establishing a choreographer laureate of the commonwealth

This bill establishes an honorary "choreographer laureate" position for Massachusetts. The governor appoints a resident choreographer from a list of three nominees selected by a committee representing major Massachusetts dance organizations. The laureate promotes dance in the state through community engagement, choreographing for state events, and elevating the arts - serving a 4-year term with no salary but limited expense reimbursement ($1,000 annually) and no state employee status.
