This bill amends existing law to allow the division of historic resources to utilize moose plate funds specifically for the administration and funding of grants aimed at preserving significant publicly-owned historic properties. The bill specifies that these properties must be at least 50 years old and either listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The new legal language inserted into the current law is "administration and funding of grants for," which replaces the previous language regarding the use of funds. Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of 60 days after its passage, which is set for July 7, 2025. This change aims to enhance the preservation efforts for historic properties by providing necessary financial support through the moose plate funds.
