From the meeting
SB 1139 also allowed a history museum authority to provide grant funding to local historical museums. The bill defined local historical museums as historical museums in the county that are owned or exclusively operated by a municipality, a county, or a nonprofit entity but do not qualify as a history museum under the act. This is a future funding program tied to a new county authority structure, not a contract award.
The bill was engrossed on 2026-09-10 and the Senate analysis dated 2026-10-06 described the grant option as part of the authority's powers.
