Change provisions regarding appropriations from the Museum Construction and Maintenance Fund

This bill amends funding provisions for two Nebraska museums: the Chief Standing Bear Museum and the Fort Robinson State Park museum. It specifies exact annual funding amounts from the Museum Construction and Maintenance Fund - $7.15 million for the Chief Standing Bear Museum's construction in fiscal year 2025-26, $750,000 for exhibits in 2024-25, and $7 million for the Fort Robinson museum in 2025-26. The bill directly affects the Game and Parks Commission, which will manage these funds, and the federally recognized tribes partnering on the Chief Standing Bear project. It updates prior funding language to clarify intended allocations without changing the overall purpose or scope of the museum projects.
