Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and determines that the state of New York has the finest museums in the world, giving the people of the state and visitors an unequaled opportu- nity to experience the world's cultural, artistic, historical, natural history and scientific heritage. These museums exist across the state, range in size from the smallest to the largest institutions in the world, and are all creatures of state government. Some are directly chartered by the legislature, and some by the board of regents, but all are subject to the public interest as set forth in law, regulation, charter requirement, and sound museum practice as set forth by museum associations and accreditation organizations. The state's museums have been exemplary in abiding by and protecting the public interest. The legislature further finds and determines that there is a need for clarification and standards with respect to the ways museums acquire, hold, and dispose of property, especially property that is part of their collections. The need for such improvement in state policy and practice is of long-standing concern, but has been highlighted by the recent and widely discussed increase in financial pressure on cultural insti- tutions. The legislature notes attempts in New York and elsewhere to monetize museum collections and the asserted use of those monies for purposes other than the protection and expansion of collections.

BILL NUMBER: S4584A TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the education law, in relation to the deaccessioning of property by collecting institutions; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto PURPOSE : To create rules for deaccessioning of items in a collecting institution's collection and to regulate the use of funds from disposed items. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : *Requires each collecting institution to adopt and publish a binding collection management policy and mission statement. Nothing in the bill would prevent institutions from changing or amending their policies, which they currently have the ability to do. *Each collecting institution shall accession all items in its possession that are consistent with its mission statement and collection management policy. This bill emphasizes the fact that institutions are required to accession only those items that are consistent with its mission. *Collecting institutions must publish a register of all items in their
