The bill proposes an appropriation of $235,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2026. This funding is designated for the commissioner of administration to collaborate with the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board to reinstall the previously displayed statue of Christopher Columbus on the State Capitol Mall.

This initiative reflects a commitment to restoring the statue, which has been a subject of controversy and discussion regarding its historical significance and representation. The bill aims to facilitate the statue's return while engaging relevant stakeholders in the planning and execution of the project.
