Bill overview
The American Royalties Too Act of 2025 aims to establish a resale royalty system for visual artists. It would require a royalty to be paid each time a copy of a visual art work is resold for $5,000 or more. The royalties would be collected by designated ‘visual artists’ collecting societies and distributed to the original artist or their heirs, with specific rules for dividing royalties among surviving family members. The bill also establishes a process for designating these collecting societies and includes provisions for legal action if royalties are not paid or distributed correctly.
