S.B. No. 515 proposes an amendment to Chapter 443 of the Government Code, specifically by adding Section 443.01528, which mandates the placement of a nativity scene on the State Capitol grounds during the month of December each year. The bill specifies that this nativity scene is not classified as a monument, thereby exempting it from certain limitations outlined in Section 443.0152(a-1).

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that the nativity scene will be a recurring feature on the Capitol grounds during the holiday season. This legislation reflects a commitment to recognizing and celebrating the holiday spirit in a public space.
