Senate Bill No. by Senator Jenkins establishes the Shreveport Water Works Museum as a facility under the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism in Shreveport, Louisiana. The museum's primary purpose is to research, collect, preserve, and present artifacts that reflect the social, cultural, and economic history of Louisiana's water supply and pumping stations. The bill outlines the museum's operational funding, stating that the department must include necessary funds in its annual budget request, and that appropriated funds are to be used solely for the museum's operations without any administrative costs charged by the department. If sufficient funds are not appropriated, the department has the authority to temporarily close the museum.

Additionally, the bill allows the department to solicit and accept donations, grants, and other contributions for the museum. It grants the Board of Directors of the Louisiana State Museum the authority to deaccession collections and outlines the process for handling property that has been held by the museum for over ten years without a claim. The bill also stipulates that collections may be lent for educational projects with board approval. The provisions of the bill will take effect once a specific appropriation for its implementation is made by the Louisiana Legislature.
