Revises provisions relating to public monuments. (BDR 35-1013)
SB 310 prohibits government agencies from removing or destroying monuments on state or publicly owned land without the Governor's approval, except for relocating them to similarly prominent sites. It increases penalties for vandalizing such monuments, making willful damage a gross misdemeanor (instead of potentially a felony) and requiring courts to order restitution. The bill defines "monument" broadly to include statues, plaques, or memorials honoring historical events, figures, religious/civic purposes, or Nevada settlement history, as listed in official historic registers. This directly affects state/local agencies managing public lands and individuals who damage protected monuments.
