HB2595 is a bill that authorizes the Legislative Council to establish a memorial in Wesley Bolin Plaza dedicated to Don Bolles, an investigative journalist for The Arizona Republic who was killed in 1976. The bill stipulates that the procedures already in place under Arizona Revised Statutes section 41-1363 will apply to the establishment of this memorial.
The bill also specifies that no public funds are to be used for the costs associated with the memorial. All fundraising, artistic design, and construction contracts are to be the sole responsibility of the proponents of the memorial. The state is prohibited from facilitating fundraising or establishing a state fund for the collection of monies for the memorial. The legislation is set to be repealed on September 30, 2027.
