State Archives: museum activities.
Summary
Existing law requires the Secretary of State to administer the State Archives Building Complex for the use, education, and enjoyment of the public and to advance civic education and civic engagement by all Californians. Existing law authorizes the Secretary of State to enter into an agreement to operate a museum in the State Archives Building Complex with the California Museum for History, Women and the Arts, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, or its successor. Existing law requires the Secretary of State, the Director of Parks and Recreation, and the State Archivist to act as honorary nonvoting members of the governing board of the corporation. This bill would remove the Secretary of State, the Director of Parks and Recreation, and the State Archivist from their honorary, nonvoting positions on the governing board of the corporation and, instead, would require the Secretary of State and the Director of Parks and Recreation to act as ex officio voting members of the board. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
