Proceeds derived from such sales, except for reasonable operating costs, shall be used in furtherance of the charitable, literary and educational activities of such nonprofit public museum. Sections 30-9 to 30-13, inclusive, and 30-91, insofar as said sections refer to local regulations of sales, shall not apply to such permit.

(b); P.A. 96-7 amended Subsec. (b) to delete the requirement that each nonprofit public museum have over 100,000 square feet for public display purposes.
