HB 26-1304

HB 26-1304 allows History Colorado, which is the state historical society, to sell certain mineral rights and royalty interests it owns in Weld County and West Virginia. The money from these sales will go into a fund that History Colorado can use for important upgrades and maintenance at its museums and facilities, like improving their collections care facility.
