House Bill 2920 amends the Local Government Code to allow the commissioners court in a county with a population of 1.2 million or more to enter into a contract with a nonprofit organization for the management and operation of a museum, historical site, or historical building in the county. The act requires the commissioners court to set an admission fee, provides that the funds generated by the fees are not required to be deposited in the county treasury, and allows the nonprofit organization to spend funds generated by the fees only for costs associated with the administration, maintenance, security, and staffing necessary to operate the building or site.
