Summary
Existing law authorizes the State Office of Historic Preservation within the Department of Parks and Recreation to initiate, negotiate, and participate in agreements for the preservation and management of historical resources under its control with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, private entities, or individuals, and to enter into any other agreements authorized by state law. Existing law also authorizes the office to encourage and support historical resource preservation through education activities, including publications and training, and to enter into contracts with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, or private entities for this purpose.
