Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1335

Overview

Dedicates a memorial in Wesley Bolin Plaza to Don Bolles.

History

Don Bolles was an investigative journalist for The Arizona Republic throughout the early 1970s. Bolles, an Arizona Press Club award-winner, discovered information pertaining to organized crime and fraud in Arizona. During an investigation in 1976, Don Bolles was fatally injured by an explosion. 

Procedures for establishing a memorial, after legislative authorization, include a review and approval by the Legislative Council. After taking recommendations from the Historical Advisory Commission, the Legislative Council must approve the design, dimensions, location, maintenance, minimum cost of any deposit into the state monument and memorial repair fund and any inscription for the memorial with a correlating contract of conditions. An approved memorial must be constructed within two years of the authorized legislation (A.R.S. § 41-1363).

2.   Specifies that procedures currently in statute apply to the placement of the monument. (Sec.1)

3.   Prohibits public monies from being used for the cost of the monument and prohibits the state from facilitating fund-raising or establishing a state fund for deposit of the monies. (Sec.1)

5.   Repeals this legislation on September 31, 2028. (Sec.1)
