The bill creates the history museum authorities act, allowing any county to establish a history museum authority. This authority is a public corporate body tasked with supporting history museums through funding, grants, and tax levies. The authority can contract with history museum services providers, levy a tax of up to 0.2 mills for up to 10 years, and provide grants to local historical museums. The authority must offer preferences or benefits to county residents if a tax is approved. The act also outlines the authority's governance, financial management, and auditing requirements.
