Resolve, To Facilitate The Ability Of The Maine State Museum To Acquire And Preserve Special Collections

LD 1614 requires the Maine State Museum to develop a plan identifying 9,000 square feet of currently unused state-owned space (not already used by the museum) to preserve culturally and historically significant collections related to Maine. The museum's Director must collaborate with state authorities to locate this space within state-owned buildings. This resolution facilitates the museum's storage capacity for important artifacts without creating new funding or altering existing laws. The Maine State Museum and state authorities are directly affected by this measure.
