The bill amends the Michigan State Capitol Historic Site Act by updating the responsibilities and authority of the commission that manages the historic site. Key changes include the insertion of new subsections that clarify the commission's operational duties, such as maintaining and restoring the state capitol building, managing day-to-day operations through an appointed individual, and employing staff as at-will employees. Additionally, the commission is granted the authority to procure goods and services necessary for its responsibilities and to make funding recommendations to state leadership.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the commission does not have control over the internal decisions of the Michigan Senate or House of Representatives regarding space allocation within the capitol building. It also introduces a provision that allows individuals licensed to carry concealed pistols to do so within the state capitol building, with the requirement that they present their concealed pistol license upon request to designated security personnel. These amendments aim to enhance the operational framework of the commission while addressing security and legislative space management within the capitol.
