Bill > SB1335

This bill authorizes the legislative council to place a memorial for Don Bolles in Wesley Bolin Plaza, a public space in Arizona. Don Bolles was an investigative reporter who was killed by a car bombing, and this memorial aims to commemorate his work and sacrifice. The bill specifies that no public funds can be used for the memorial; instead, all fundraising, artistic design, and construction costs must be covered by private proponents. The legislative council must follow existing procedures for memorial establishment as outlined in section 41-1363 of Arizona Revised Statutes. The authorization for the memorial is temporary, with the bill's provisions set to be automatically repealed on September 30, 2028. The legislature explicitly states its intention to recognize Bolles' contributions to journalism and honor his memory nearly fifty years after his tragic death.
