AN ACT RELATING TO APPROPRIATIONS; APPROPRIATING $258,000 FROM THE
GENERAL FUND FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999-2000 TO THE UTAH ARTS COUNCIL IN THE

OF THE CHASE HOME MUSEUM OF UTAH FOLK ART; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
This act enacts uncodified material.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
Section 1. Intent.
The Legislature finds that because the 145 year-old Brigham Young - Issac Chase Home
in Liberty Park houses the State Folk Art Collection and plays a significant role in Utah's cultural
heritage, appropriating funds for the renovation of the home meets a statewide public purpose.

the Utah Arts Council in the Department of Community and Economic Development.
(2) The Utah Arts Council shall use the appropriated funds to:
(a) match other funds donated for the purpose of completing the exterior renovation of the
home, with the appropriated funds paying for no more than 1/3 of the total renovation costs; and
(b) secure a 20-year lease to ensure a permanent public home for the State Folk Art
Collection.
(3) Any unused funds shall be returned to the General Fund.
Section 3. Effective date.
This act takes effect on July 1, 1999.
