Local government approval for historic site designations.

HB 281 requires the state Board of Land Commissioners to obtain written consent from local governments (counties, cities, or towns) before designating state historic sites on their property. It mandates providing at least 30 days' written notice to the local governing body, with consent presumed if no objection is raised within that period. This bill directly affects local governments owning land potentially designated as historic sites, adding a procedural step to the state's designation process. The law takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in the bill text.
