253.417. 1. The first commercial film studio operated in Missouri by Walt Disney in Kansas City is hereby designated as a Missouri state historic site.
2. The Missouri department of natural resources may acquire the Disney film studio pursuant to appropriation by the general assembly. The attorney general shall approve the instrument of conveyance.

Upon purchase of the property, the department of natural resources shall rehabilitate the Disney film studio building and establish and operate a museum there dedicated to the life and works of Missourian Walt Disney and the role of other Missourians in the history and development of animated and live action films.
