SF 4637 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State historic sites contracts permission

This bill allows the Minnesota Historical Society to enter into contracts with counties, municipalities, or local historical societies to manage and operate state historic sites. The legislation permits these contracts to include provisions for keeping admission fees and receiving grants-in-aid to support site operations and maintenance. It amends existing state law to clarify these contracting options and takes effect immediately upon final passage. The change directly affects how state historic sites are administered and funded through partnerships with local entities.
