What’s in it

This bill requires the department of administrative services, in consultation with the capitol planning commission, to authorize the placement of a monument based on the painting “Declaration of Independence” by John Trumbull in the rotunda of the capitol building. The bill requires the department to solicit and approve an application for the monument. If more than one application is submitted, the department, in consultation with the capitol planning commission, shall approve the application that can best meet the requirements for construction and maintenance of the monument.
