Relating to the Texas presidential library promotion program and fund.
SB 2993 creates a Texas presidential library promotion program and dedicated fund to support three specific presidential libraries: the LBJ Library, George H.W. Bush Library, and George W. Bush Library. The program provides funding for library exhibit renovations, promotes tourism through marketing campaigns, and develops mobile exhibits featuring historical artifacts and educational materials about these presidents. The Texas Historical Commission will administer the program, with funds coming from legislative appropriations, investment interest, and donations. This bill directly affects the three libraries and Texas tourism initiatives by establishing a formal funding mechanism for their operations and public engagement.
