Senate Bill 201 amends the Government Code to continue the State Preservation Board until September 1, 2025. The bill authorizes the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house of representatives, each as a member of the board, to designate a representative to act on behalf of the member during a board meeting. The bill requires the board to meet at least twice each year.
Senate Bill 201 creates the Governor's Mansion renewal trust fund as a trust fund outside the treasury with the comptroller of public accounts. The trust fund is administered by the board to maintain and preserve the Governor's Mansion and consists of money donated to the board for those purposes and money transferred to the fund at the direction of the legislature. The bill requires the executive director of the board to employ a museum director to manage and operate the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and requires the board to adopt reasonable policies for naming areas within the museum in honor of donors or other benefactors, if appropriate.
