Funding for Memorials on State Capitol Grounds

Summary

The bill establishes a Colorado veterans’ monument preservation trust fund and a four‑member oversight committee to pay for upkeep, repair, and enhancement of monuments in Lincoln Veterans’ Memorial Park and on the state Capitol grounds. Funding comes from private gifts, grants, donations and any General Assembly appropriations, with interest earnings usable for maintenance while the principal stays intact, except in limited cases. It also requires new art or memorial proposals to set aside at least 5% of their budget for lifetime maintenance and mandates annual reporting on fund use.
