Current Law

All monuments and memorials in the governmental mall must be authorized by legislation. In order for a monument or memorial to be placed in the government mall, the proponents must first submit a concept to ADOA for the design and location for the memorial. ADOA must then review the concept and determine the most appropriate location and dimensions for placement on the governmental mall. After the review, ADOA must submit its recommendations to the Commission. Once the review and recommendation process is completed, ADOA and the Commission must finalize the plans for the monument and the proponents of the bill must enter into a contract with ADOA specifying the conditions of the design, dimensions, location of the monument or memorial and other specified information. The approved monument must be built within two years of the effective authorization date. (A.R.S 41-1363).
