STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28399 / H0090
This legislation adds a new section to Chapter 1, Title 73, Idaho Code, and provides for the protection of certain
historic monuments and memorials. No monument or memorial erected on State property may be relocated,
removed, disturbed, or altered without approval of the Idaho Legislature by way of a Concurrent Resolution.
The legislation also preserves the names of historic figures and historic events memorialized in or dedicated
to public schools, streets, bridges, structures, parks, preserves, or other public areas of the State or any of its
political subdivisions that were in place prior to July 1, 2021. The legislation does not affect any measures or
means already in place by those charged with protecting and caring for these treasures from performing their
duties.
FISCAL NOTE
Because there are no added costs associated with keeping historic monuments and memorials as they currently
exist, there is no impact to the General Fund.
