State historic site contracts permitted.
This bill allows the Minnesota Historical Society to enter into contracts with counties, municipalities, or local historical societies to manage and operate state historic sites. The key provision permits these contracted organizations to keep admission fees collected at the sites and receive grants-in-aid for operational and maintenance costs. This change expands the types of entities that can directly manage state historic sites beyond the current restrictions. The bill takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
