enter into a contract with the Legislative Council specifying the conditions of
the design, dimensions and location of the monument or memorial, a list of the
artists, contractors that will be employed, the minimum dollar amount required
for deposit in the State Monument and Memorial Repair Fund and required
liability insurance. Any approved monument or memorial must be completed and
dedicated to the state within two years of the effective date of the
legislative act authorizing the memorial. Public monies may not be used for the
costs of creating and developing a memorial. All fundraising and contracts for
artistic design and construction of the memorial are the sole responsibility of
the memorial's proponents (

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund
associated with this legislation.
