What it does
The bill would give visual artists a royalty when an art market professional resells their artwork for $5,000 or more. The royalty equals 5 percent of the resale price, capped at $50,000, paid within 90 days to a collecting society for quarterly payment to the artist or heirs. An artist qualifies by citizenship or residence in the US or a country with a similar resale royalty law, or if the artwork was first created in the US or such a country. The royalty can never be sold or waived.
