Bill Summary
That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas hereby authorize the State Preservation Board, subject to state law and rules of the board, to approve the construction of a Texas Life Monument at the State Capitol Complex, at a site outside of the historic Capitol grounds
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution authorizes the State Preservation Board to approve the construction of a Texas Life Monument at the State Capitol Complex, specifically at a site outside of the historic Capitol grounds. The monument, sculpted by artist Timothy Schmalz, is an eight-foot bronze sculpture depicting a mother with an unborn child cradled in a world-shaped womb, which has previously been displayed in Rome and Washington, D.C. The resolution notes that the monument's placement is subject to existing state law and State Preservation Board rules, including requirements for legislative approval, private donor funding, and compliance with size and design limitations. The underlying purpose of the monument is to provide a communal place for Texans to celebrate human life, and the resolution directs the Texas secretary of state to forward an official copy of the resolution to the executive director of the State Preservation Board.
