Bill Summary

(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at http://leg.colorado.gov.)

The capitol building advisory committee (advisory committee) is currently required to evaluate and make recommendations to the capital development committee and, in some cases, the governor regarding proposals for the gift or loan of art and memorials to be placed on a permanent or temporary basis in the capitol building or on its surrounding grounds. The bill adds the public areas of the capitol building annex and its surrounding grounds and the public areas of the legislative services building and its surrounding grounds to the advisory committee's purview in connection with proposals for the gift or loan of art and memorials.

In addition, current law specifies that the art, memorials, architectural fixtures, and furniture that are original to the capitol building must remain in the capitol building at all times unless the items are temporarily removed for conservation. The bill allows the removal of items original to the capitol building for loan, exhibit, research, or disposition with the approval of the advisory committee.
