The bill establishes the High Plains Research Station and Arboretum as a state historic site, managed by the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. It mandates the development of a strategic master plan for the preservation and operation of the site, allowing the department to enter into agreements with various entities for its administration and maintenance. The bill also authorizes the department to impose fees beyond standard permit fees to cover expenses related to the site's preservation and operations, with collected fees deposited into the state parks account.

Additionally, the bill allocates $3,338,756 from previously appropriated funds for the High Plains Research Station and Arboretum and requires the department to initiate the strategic master plan within one year of the bill's effective date, providing a report to the relevant legislative committee by October 1, 2026. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
