Bill > HB2011

This bill amends a previous law regarding the placement of a migration monument in Arizona's governmental mall, specifically changing references from "Mormon" to "Church of Jesus Christ" to accurately reflect the religious organization's preferred name. The bill maintains the existing provisions that require the Department of Administration to authorize monument placement according to specific procedures, and continues to stipulate that public funds cannot be used for the monument's design, construction, or fundraising. All financial and artistic responsibilities remain with the monument's proponents. The key change extends the timeline for monument placement, moving the law's repeal date from September 30, 2025 to September 30, 2030, effectively giving the organization additional time to complete the monument. The bill ensures that the state will not directly facilitate fundraising or establish a state fund for the monument, keeping the financial burden on the Church of Jesus Christ.
