Bill Summary
Amends the Department of Natural Resources Act. In a provision that directs the Department of Natural Resources to contribute to and support the operations, programs, and capital development of public museums in the State, deletes a provision requiring public museums that receive funds for capital development to match State funds with local or private funding in accordance with certain requirements.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Natural Resources Act to remove a requirement for public museums receiving State funds for capital development, which refers to the construction or renovation of buildings and facilities, to match those State funds with their own local or private funding. Previously, the amount of matching funds required depended on the museum's annual attendance, with museums having lower attendance needing no match, and those with higher attendance needing to provide a larger proportion of local or private funds for every dollar of State funding. The bill simplifies this by eliminating the matching fund requirement altogether for capital development projects.
