INTRODUCED BY KASTEN

BY REQUEST OF THE OFFICE OF BUDGET AND PROGRAM PLANNING

 

AN ACT ESTABLISHING PRIORITIES FOR CULTURAL AND AESTHETIC PROJECTS GRANT AWARDS; APPROPRIATING MONEY FOR CULTURAL AND AESTHETIC GRANTS; PROVIDING FOR A TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM THE STATE GENERAL FUND TO THE CULTURAL AND AESTHETIC PROJECTS TRUST FUND ACCOUNT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:

 

     Section 1.  Appropriation of cultural and aesthetic grant funds -- priority of disbursement. (1) The Montana arts council shall award grants for projects authorized by and limited to the amounts appropriated by [section 3] and this section. Money must be disbursed in priority order, first to projects covered under subsection (3) and second to projects listed in [section 3].

     (2) The Montana arts council shall disburse money to projects authorized by [section 3] through grant contracts between the Montana arts council and the grant recipient. The award contract must bind the parties to conditions, if any, listed with the appropriation in [section 3].

     (3) There is appropriated from the cultural and aesthetic projects trust fund account to the Montana historical society $30,000 for the biennium ending July 1, 2009, for care and conservation of capitol complex artwork.

 

     Section 2.  Fund transfer. At the beginning of fiscal year 2008, the amount of $1.5 million is transferred from the state general fund to the cultural and aesthetic projects trust fund account established in 15-35-108 for the purpose of protection of the works of art in the capitol and for other cultural and aesthetic projects. The intent of this fund transfer is to increase the corpus of the trust for purposes of generating interest earnings that provide funding to support programs and projects funded by the Montana arts council, and it is further the intent of the legislature that the money transferred in this section remain in the trust and not be appropriated for other purposes.

 

     Section 3.  Appropriation of cultural and aesthetic grant funds. The following projects are approved and $698,770 is appropriated to the Montana arts council for the biennium ending June 30, 2009, from the cultural and aesthetic projects trust fund account:
