AI Summary

This bill establishes the placement and management of the America250PA Semiquincentennial Celebration Bell monument at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. The bill begins by noting that the America250PA Commission was established to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States' founding, highlighting Pennsylvania's historical significance. The monument will be located outside the East Wing of the Capitol Complex, specifically on the concourse level between a fountain and the East Wing entrance. The Department of General Services will prepare the monument's location and, after the America250PA Commission is disbanded, will take ownership of the monument and be responsible for its perpetual maintenance. The department is required to cooperate with the America250PA Commission during the monument's construction and placement. The bill emphasizes the monument's purpose of celebrating the nation's 250-year history and Pennsylvania's contributions to that history, with the legislation taking effect immediately upon passage.
