The bill mandates the placement of a monument in the rotunda of the Iowa State Capitol, inspired by John Trumbull's painting, "Declaration of Independence." The Department of Administrative Services, in collaboration with the Capitol Planning Commission, is tasked with authorizing this placement. Additionally, the department is responsible for soliciting and approving applications for the monument's construction, which must include design concepts, estimated costs, funding sources, a project timeline, and any other required information.

In the event that multiple applications are submitted, the department, alongside the Capitol Planning Commission, will select the application that best fulfills the criteria for the monument's construction and maintenance. This process ensures that the monument is not only aesthetically aligned with the historical significance of the painting but also feasible in terms of funding and upkeep.
