Capital Development Committee. The bill grants the state historical society, also known as history Colorado, the authority to sell 3 properties that no longer fit within the mission of history Colorado.

Specifically, the bill grants history Colorado the authority to sell the following:

• The real property known as the McFarlane House in Central City;
• The real property known as the Pearce-McAllister Cottage in Denver; and
• The real property known as the Pueblo Museum Support Center, which was used as a storage facility by history Colorado until the artifacts housed at the facility were recently moved to a more northern storage facility for better access by history Colorado staff.

The bill specifies that the proceeds of the sales are to be credited to the state museum cash fund to be used in connection with the acquisition or construction of a consolidated collections care and storage facility or for controlled maintenance of history Colorado's current collections care and storage facilities .
