Bill > SF365

This bill requires the Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS), in consultation with the Capitol Planning Commission, to authorize the placement of a monument honoring Martin Treptow on the state capitol complex grounds. The DAS will solicit and approve monument applications that must include specific details such as design concept, estimated total cost, funding sources, and project timeline. Importantly, each proposed monument design must incorporate Martin Treptow's poem "My Pledge" through a plate, engraving, or similar method. If multiple applications are submitted, the DAS and Capitol Planning Commission will select the application that best meets the requirements for construction and maintenance. This bill appears to be a tribute to Martin Treptow, likely recognizing his significance in Iowa's history, by establishing a permanent memorial at the state capitol complex.
