H.B. No. 5032 proposes the addition of Section 441.206 to Subchapter L, Chapter 441 of the Government Code, which mandates the development of a plan for displaying significant historical documents in the Capitol Complex. The commission, in collaboration with the State Preservation Board and other relevant state agencies, is tasked with creating this plan, which will include the display of the "victory or death" letter by Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis, the Texas Declaration of Independence, and the Texas Constitution. The commission must complete this plan by December 1, 2027, publish it on their website, and provide copies to the appropriate legislative committees.

The section is set to expire on September 1, 2031, and the bill itself will take effect on September 1, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the visibility and appreciation of Texas's historical documents within the Capitol Complex, ensuring that these important artifacts are accessible to the public and recognized for their significance in the state's history.
