THE RHODE ISLAND CANNABIS ACT (H7855) Bill introduced
This bill provides amendments to the cannabis act relating to the definition of a social equity applicant and the required fee to maintain such status as a social equity applicant.
We have partnered with ELO to help raise funds and awareness to the following:
RI BILL H7855 aligns closely with The MUSE Foundation of Rhode Island's mission in several key ways:
1. Arts Education Support: The bill proposes to establish a "Rhode Island Arts Education Fund" to support arts education programs in public schools[1]. This directly aligns with The MUSE Foundation's goal of promoting arts education and ensuring access to arts programs for all students.
2. Funding Mechanism: H7855 introduces a voluntary contribution option on individual income tax returns to fund the Arts Education Fund[1]. This innovative funding approach supports The MUSE Foundation's efforts to secure sustainable funding for arts education initiatives.
3. Equitable Access: By creating a dedicated fund for arts education in public schools, the bill aims to provide more equitable access to arts programs across Rhode Island. This aligns with The MUSE Foundation's commitment to ensuring all students, regardless of their background or location, have opportunities to engage with the arts.
4. Collaboration: The bill involves collaboration between the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education[1]. This multi-agency approach reflects The MUSE Foundation's emphasis on partnerships and collaborative efforts to strengthen arts education.
5. Long-term Impact: By establishing a permanent funding mechanism, H7855 supports the long-term sustainability of arts education programs, which aligns with The MUSE Foundation's goal of creating lasting positive impacts on arts education in Rhode Island.
In summary, RI BILL H7855's focus on supporting and funding arts education in public schools through a dedicated fund closely aligns with The MUSE Foundation of Rhode Island's mission to promote and enhance arts education opportunities for all students in the state.
