SCR 139 California Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Relative to California Museums Month.

This bill officially designates May 2024 as California Museums Month to recognize the state's extensive network of over 1,500 museums. The measure highlights the role these institutions play in education, economic impact, and community engagement without imposing any new laws or regulations. By declaring this specific month, the legislation aims to encourage public appreciation and celebration of museums rather than changing operational requirements.
