Bill > HB2775

This bill amends existing Arizona state law to explicitly include community college districts in historic preservation requirements alongside state agencies. The bill adds provisions that require the chief administrator of each community college district to be responsible for preserving historic properties owned or controlled by their district, including considering the use of historic properties before acquiring new buildings and undertaking necessary preservation efforts consistent with professional standards. The bill also requires community college districts to establish programs to locate, inventory, and nominate historic properties under their ownership or control to the Arizona register of historic places, and to exercise caution to prevent inadvertent transfer, sale, demolition, or significant alteration of such properties. Additionally, the bill gives the state historic preservation officer the ability to review and comment on district plans involving potentially historic properties. The bill defines key terms like "district" and "district board" by referencing section 15-1401, ensuring clarity and consistency in the application of these historic preservation requirements across state agencies and community college districts.
