Title

Military, Military Department, Armory Commission, money from rental of armory to be paid to the Armory Fund, Sec. 31-4-15 am'd.

Summary

SB370 would require armory rental income to be paid to the Armory Fund instead of the renting organizations' treasuries.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 31-4-15 to redirect money from armory rentals to the Armory Fund. The bill keeps the Armory Commission and the board of control responsible for managing armories and regulating rent for temporary use, with proceeds now going to the Armory Fund rather than the organizations quartered there. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Organizations quartered in armories: previously received rental money into their own treasuries; under this bill, those funds would now go to the Armory Fund.
• Armory Fund: gains a new source of revenue from armory rentals.
• Armory Commission and boards of control: continue to oversee armory management and rent regulations, now with the rental proceeds directed to the Armory Fund.

Key Provisions

• Amends Section 31-4-15 to require money derived from armory rentals to be paid to the Armory Fund.
• Preserves the Armory Commission’s authority to manage armories and set rules; the board of control for each armory may rent the armory for temporary purposes under Armory Commission regulations, with rental proceeds directed to the Armory Fund.
• Effective date: the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and Governor’s approval.
