SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



Senate Joint Memorial 85 requests the Museum of New Mexico of the Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) to investigate making the Kit Carson home and museum a state monument.



Significant Issues



The Cultural Properties Act [Sections 18-6-1 through 18-6-17 NMSA 1978] identifies the process for designating a cultural property as a state monument, which is the responsibility of the Cultural Properties Review Committee and the Board of Regents for the Museum of New Mexico. Additionally, the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) of OCA is funded to examine proposed properties to be designated as cultural properties. Consequently, the OCA should not experience an additional fiscal or administrative burden by carrying out the request identified in this joint memorial.
