1994 SESSION
HJ 37 Nonstate cultural, scientific, and educational museums.
Introduced by: A. Victor Thomas | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Nonstate cultural, scientific, and educational museums. Acknowledges the contributions of nonstate cultural, scientific, and educational museums to the Commonwealth and the need to provide consistent and equitable state funding for these institutions. Direct funding for Virginia's museums--whether publicly or privately operated--is typically supplied through direct legislative appropriations or by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Claiming top priority for Virginia's direct appropriations for museums are those institutions that have been established as state agencies: the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Science Museum of Virginia, the Frontier Culture Museum, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, the Board of Regents of Gunston Hall, the Virginia Museum of Natural History, and the Chippokes Plantation Farm Foundation. Virginia also provides direct appropriations to several nonstate museums and cultural organizations. In 1993, the General Assembly provided $2,324,025 in direct appropriations for financial assistance for cultural and artistic affairs to 21 nonstate agencies. This measure is a recommendation of the HJR 453 Joint Subcommittee Joint Subcommittee Studying Educational Museums and the Appropriate Level of Public Support to be Provided Such Institutions.
