This bill proposes to update current statutes by renaming the existing Wesley Bolin Plaza to the "Wesley Bolin and Charlie Kirk Freedom Plaza" and authorizing the Legislative Council to place memorials for both Charlie Kirk and Don Bolles within this newly named plaza. Specifically, it inserts provisions that require the Legislative Council to designate the plaza accordingly and allows for the placement of the memorials, while also stipulating that public funds cannot be used for their costs. The bill also includes a repeal clause for the memorials' authorization effective September 30, 2029.

In addition to the renaming and memorial placements, the bill makes several technical changes to existing statutes, such as modifying references to the plaza and ensuring that all fundraising and contracts related to the memorials are the sole responsibility of their proponents. It also clarifies that the procedures outlined in current law regarding memorials apply to the new memorials being established. Overall, the bill aims to honor both individuals while ensuring that the financial responsibility remains with private proponents rather than the state.
