Bill > LB491

This bill modifies appropriations and funding provisions for two specific museum projects in Nebraska. It amends Section 72-819 of the state's statutes to reduce the intended funding for the Chief Standing Bear Museum and visitor center from fifteen million dollars to seven million dollars for fiscal year 2025-26, and adds a new provision of seven million dollars for fiscal year 2026-27. The bill also maintains the existing seven hundred fifty thousand dollars allocation for exhibit fabrication and historical interpretation for fiscal year 2024-25. Additionally, the legislation reaffirms the Game and Parks Commission's responsibility to construct, develop, and manage a museum at Fort Robinson State Park, with an intended appropriation of seven million dollars for fiscal year 2025-26 from the Museum Construction and Maintenance Fund. The bill allows the Game and Parks Commission to collaborate with the Nebraska State Historical Society for museum development, exhibit creation, and historical interpretation at the Fort Robinson State Park museum. The original section of the law will be repealed upon the enactment of this bill.
