AN ACT Relating to appropriations for the Pacific Science Center; creating a new section; and making an appropriation.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the Pacific Science Center provides scientific and technology exhibits and educational programs to millions of children and adults across the state. The Pacific Science Center, the legacy of the 1962 United States Science Exhibit, is keeping alive the joys and mysteries of science and technology. Its science vans travel throughout Washington state bringing educational programs to public schools, summer camps, and other events to encourage children to experience science and to explore scientific and technological careers to meet the challenges of the future. In order to keep pace with new technologies and scientific developments and the increasing number of visitors, the Pacific Science Center must update its thirty-year-old facilities. The intent of the appropriation in section 2 of this act is to construct a new school group and school bus entrance, construct a new main entrance, develop new and renovate existing exhibits, improve handicapped accessibility, and repair building exteriors and the pond area.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The sum of one million sixty-one thousand dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1993, from the state building construction amount to the department of community development for the Pacific Science Center. Expenditure of each dollar from this appropriation shall be matched by at least three dollars from nonstate sources for the same purpose.
