Regular Session
By
Read first time 03/03/95.
Requiring a
process to solicit proposals for and prioritize heritage capital projects.
AN ACT Relating to
heritage capital projects; adding a new section to chapter 27.34 RCW; and
creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec.
1. The legislature finds
that the state of Washington has a rich heritage in historical sites and
artifacts that have the potential to provide life-long learning opportunities
for citizens of the state. Further, the legislature finds that many of these historical
treasures are not readily accessible to citizens, and that there is a need to
create an ongoing program to support the capital needs of heritage
organizations and facilities.
NEW SECTION. Sec.
2. A new section is added
to chapter 27.34 RCW to read as follows:
The Washington state
historical society shall establish a competitive process to solicit proposals
for and prioritize heritage capital projects for potential funding in the state
capital budget. The society shall adopt rules governing project eligibility
and evaluation criteria. Application for funding of specific projects may be
made to the society by local governments, public development authorities,
nonprofit corporations, tribal governments, and other entities, as determined
by the society. The society, with the advice of leaders in the heritage field,
including but not limited to representatives from the office of the secretary
of state, the eastern Washington state historical society, and the state office
of archaeology and historic preservation, shall establish a prioritized list of
heritage capital projects to be recommended to the governor and the legislature
by September 1st of each even-numbered year, beginning in 1996. The
prioritized list shall be developed through open and public meetings. The
governor and the legislature shall consider the prioritized list of heritage
projects as a guide for appropriating funds to heritage capital projects
beginning with the 1997-99 biennium and thereafter.
