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 the governor must allocate sufficient funding in the executive budget. If the legislature does not appropriate enough funds, the department has the authority to temporarily close the museum until adequate funding is secured.

Additionally, the bill allows the department to accept donations, grants, and loans for the museum's operations and outlines the process for the disposition of property, including the deaccessioning authority granted to the Board of Directors of the Louisiana State Museum. The board is responsible for establishing policies for managing collections and can declare property abandoned if unclaimed for over ten years, following a specific notification process. The provisions of the bill will take effect once the legislature appropriates funds for its implementation.
