As Passed the House

 

HB 2285 Appropriates $1.9 million of the State General Fund  (G.F.) to the Arizona Department of Administration  (ADOA) in order to build the Polly Rosenbaum State Archives and History Building.

 

History

Currently all state archives and history are kept by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Agency (ASLAPR), which is located in the State Capital. The Director of ASLAPR manages and maintains all state archives and history. During the 45th Legislature 1st Regular Session, HB 2205 allowed the director of the ADOA to enter into a lease-to-own agreement for the construction and ownership of a state archives building to be located in the Capitol Mall. In the summer of 2001, this bill was vetoed and its budget repealed; however, in fiscal year 2001-2002, ASLAPR loaned $110,000 to the ADOA to start work on the State Archives and History building project.
