CULTURE/REC/TOUR DEPT: Provides relative to the disposition of certain historical statues and monuments

This bill directs the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism to transfer specific historical statues and monuments to the Office of State Parks if they were removed from public display after August 1, 2006. It requires local governments to coordinate with state parks for the physical delivery of these items and mandates that the state office cannot place the statues back in the same parish where they were originally taken down. The legislation also clarifies that these new rules do not override existing state laws regarding the preservation of historical sites.
