Bill > H4055

This bill requires the Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller to provide operational management services, including programming and exhibits, for four specific historical sites: the Palmetto Historical Park, the Manatee County Agricultural Museum, the Manatee Village Historical Park, and the Florida Maritime Museum. The clerk is given the authority to fund maintenance and infrastructure for these sites, with an important stipulation that such funding must supplement existing funding sources and cannot replace or supplant current local, state, or other funding. The bill allows for flexibility by noting that these management services can be modified if directed by the property owner of each site. The legislation is specific to Manatee County and will take effect immediately upon becoming law, potentially providing additional support and resources for preserving local historical sites and museums.
