The bill amends the Michigan State Capitol Historic Site Act by updating Section 6 to clarify the responsibilities and authority of the commission overseeing the Michigan state capitol historic site. Key changes include the insertion of new subsections that specify the commission's duties, such as managing the site, maintaining the capitol building and grounds, and appointing an individual to oversee daily operations as an at-will employee. The bill also emphasizes that all employees of the commission are nontenured and at-will, allowing for flexibility in staffing and management.
Additionally, the bill introduces provisions that restrict the commission's authority over internal decisions related to space allocation within the state capitol building and parking lot, stating that such decisions must adhere to the rules of the senate and house of representatives. Importantly, it also establishes that individuals licensed to carry concealed pistols are permitted to do so within the state capitol building, with the requirement to present their concealed pistol license upon request to designated security personnel.
