House Bill No. 410 establishes the Shreveport Water Works Museum as a facility under the jurisdiction of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism in Louisiana. The museum is designated as a historical, cultural, scientific, and technological institution aimed at researching, collecting, preserving, and presenting artifacts that reflect the social, cultural, and economic history of Louisiana's water supply. The bill outlines the museum's operational funding requirements, stating that the department must include necessary funds in its annual budget request, and prohibits the charging of administrative costs related to the museum's operations.

Additionally, the bill grants the department the authority to solicit and accept donations and loans for the museum, and allows the Board of Directors of the Louisiana State Museum to manage the deaccession of collections. It also includes provisions for unclaimed property held by the museum, stipulating that such property may become the museum's after ten years if no claims are made, following proper notification procedures. The bill will take effect upon the appropriation of funds by the legislature for its implementation.
