URGENT LEGISLATIVE ACTION REQUEST!!!

As you probably know, the California Association of Museums has filed Senate Bill 1088 (SB 1088) on behalf of all museums in the State of California. The initial draft of this bill suggests the establishment of an Office of Museum Services that , among other services, will house and administer a competitive grant program in support of museums and their operation. The bill is in draft form and will be amended to include more specific information about the grant programs and other services to be provided by the office. The co-authors of the bill are Senators Richard Polanco and Richard Alarcon. To read the bill, go to
www.leginfo.ca.gov.SB 1088 goes to the Senate Natural Resources & Wildlife Committee for its first review on April 2, 2001…and we need your support before that date!
Please write a letter stating your support of SB 1088 by April 2 and send/FAX it to:
