Overview

Authorizes the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) to provide for the placement of a Mormon migration monument in the governmental mall.

History

Any legislative Act may authorize a monument or memorial in the governmental mall. Proponents of the monument or memorial are required to submit a proposal to ADOA for review and approval upon recommendations from the historical advisory commission. Upon approval, proponents must enter into a contract with ADOA specifying the design, dimensions, location, list of artists, contractors and subcontractors that will be employed, the minimum dollar amount required for deposit into the state monument and memorial repair fund and a verification that all employees involved in the project are insured and that the state is free of any liability regarding construction. Proponents are solely responsible for all fund-raising and administration of a fund for use for the monument or memorial (A.R.S. § 41-1363).
