The bill mandates the placement of a monument to Martin Treptow on the grounds of the Iowa state capitol complex. It assigns the responsibility to the department of administrative services, which must work in consultation with the capitol planning commission to authorize the monument's installation. The department is also tasked with soliciting and approving applications for the monument's construction, which must include specific details such as the design concept, estimated costs, funding sources, and a proposed timeline. Importantly, each design must feature the poem "My Pledge" by Martin Treptow.

In the event that multiple applications are submitted, the department, in collaboration with the capitol planning commission, will select the application that best meets the construction and maintenance requirements for the monument. This process ensures that the monument is not only a tribute to Treptow but also a well-planned addition to the capitol complex.
