Introduced
2/15/23  

Caption

Preclusion on disposing of state-owned historic sites and places without authorization in law provided, and notices and reports required to be sent to State Historic Preservation Office.

Impact

The impact of HF1803 on state laws is significant, as it would require that any proposed changes to the status of historic properties undergo a formal authorization process. This is expected to create a higher standard of accountability and transparency regarding decisions made about state-owned historic sites. The legislation would provide guidance for state officials and agencies in managing these properties, thereby reinforcing the importance of historic preservation in state governance.

Summary

HF1803 aims to establish a clear legal framework concerning the disposal of state-owned historic sites and places. The bill prohibits the disposal of such properties without specific authorization as provided by law. This measure is designed to protect the state's historic and cultural resources from being sold or otherwise disposed of without proper oversight. By requiring authorization, the bill seeks to ensure that any actions concerning these historic sites are in line with state preservation goals and policies.

Contention

Debate around HF1803 may center on the balance between protecting historic resources and allowing flexibility in property management. Proponents of the bill are likely to argue that it is essential for safeguarding the state's heritage and ensuring that significant sites are not lost or neglected. Critics, however, may raise concerns about potential bureaucratic hurdles that could arise from the requirement for authorization, arguing that this could slow down necessary development or renovations on state properties.
