requiring the director of the division of historical resources to compile and maintain a list of public monuments and requiring legislative approval of the amendment or permanent removal of historical markers.

This bill requires the state's historical resources director to create and keep an updated list of all public monuments. It mandates that the transportation commissioner must get approval from the state historic preservation office before installing any new historical marker, ensuring the office investigates the event and holds public hearings. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that changing or permanently removing an existing marker requires formal approval from the state legislature through a vote in both the House and Senate. Although the bill passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law.
