Public grounds; requiring display of certain monument; specifying requirements for certain funding; creating felony offense. Emergency.
SB 380 requires the Oklahoma State Capitol to prominently display a monument of the Ten Commandments, mandating that the Governor, Senate President Pro Tempore, and House Speaker determine its design, placement, security, and funding within one year. The bill specifies that only donated funds may be used for the monument's construction and prohibits relocation without approval from three-fourths of both legislative chambers and the Governor. It creates a felony offense for knowingly damaging or destroying the monument and authorizes the Oklahoma Attorney General to defend the display legally if challenged in court. The bill takes immediate effect due to an emergency declaration.
