The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations. The bill specifies that the effective date is the day following its final enactment, and the funding is specifically earmarked for design, construction, equipment, and furnishing of the museum's initial development phase.
