§ 4-12-108. Sales facilities authorized.

The state museum is hereby authorized to operate sales facilities in the state museum. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the operation of sales facilities in the state museum by any nonprofit corporation that has as its chief purpose the support of the programs of the state museum. Acts 1975, ch. 291, § 1; T.C.A., § 4-1208; Acts 1991, ch. 213, § 7; 2018, ch. 821, § 6. Compiler's Notes. Acts 1991, ch. 213, § 6 provided that it is the intention of the general assembly that such private not-for-profit corporations as may, from time to time, exist to serve and further the programs of the Tennessee state museum, be allowed to operate sales facilities within the museum. To prevent confusion over the ownership of goods to be sold, the policies governing the sale of goods and the establishment of accurate operating costs, it is the further intention of the general assembly that should any such corporation desire to operate a gift shop or any other sort of sales facility presently operated by the state, the corporation must purchase the entire stock of the state-operated facility. Amendments. The 2018 amendment deleted “at no cost to the state” at the end of (a). Effective Dates. Acts 2018, ch. 821, § 20. April 24, 2018.
