Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts Agreement Act 1966
In ForceTASPlain English Summary
3/10 complexity
This Act adopts and enshrines the agreement between Henry Allport’s trustees and the Tasmanian Library Advisory Board as statute, empowering them to implement the agreement and to give effect to the will “as nearly as is practicable,” and specifically authorising temporary loans or displays of collection items outside Tasmania.
It principally affects the named trustees, the Board and potential host institutions; it matters because it converts a private arrangement into law and grants broad operational discretion while leaving funding, standards and reporting to the parties.
