Read first time 01/16/92. Referred to Committee on Capital Facilities & Financing.
AN ACT Relating to the museum of flight; creating a new section; and making an appropriation.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The intent of this act is to provide funding for the development, artifact restoration, and construction of the "builders" exhibit at the museum of flight. The museum of flight itself is all at once: (1) A reminder of the contribution of flight to the history and future of the state of Washington, (2) an ongoing and an exceptional teaching and learning environment for the people of the state, adults as well as children, (3) and a tremendous tourism and visitor center for the thousands of people that visit our part of the Pacific Rim. The builders exhibit will be a one of a kind gallery that will give a unique look at the organization necessary in the advanced flight industry. The exhibit is designed specifically to support current engineering and trade education programs, to inspire students, and to recognize a workforce of particular importance to Washington state. The appropriation contained in section 2 of this act will be recaptured many times over with eleven thousand annual student uses, two hundred fifty thousand annual visitors, thirty-five thousand teaching kits sold annually, and five hundred teachers participating in conferences each year.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The sum of two million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1993, from the state building construction account to the museum of flight for the purposes of the builders exhibit.
