Bill > SB620

This bill removes the prohibition on disturbing or interfering with war memorials and monuments erected by localities. It authorizes localities to alter, move, or remove any monument or memorial from their public property. The bill also changes the provisions related to actions for damage to war memorials, removing certain criminal and civil penalties. Importantly, the bill still allows for the recovery of damages to rebuild, repair, preserve, and restore such memorials, and it provides for the possibility of punitive damages in cases of reckless, willful, or wanton conduct.
