Dissolution of the Tulare County Museum Board
Summary
A state law, SB 707, made running a volunteer advisory board so burdensome that the county is dissolving it and giving museum oversight to the GSA Director. The Museum Board advocated for the Mooney Grove Park museum for years — now decisions go through county administration instead.
