	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1324, as amended, Anderson. California Native American
Memorial.
   Existing law prescribes various duties for the Department of
General Services in connection with development and maintenance of
the park around the State Capitol building.
   This bill would  make   allow  the
department  to be  responsible for the planning and
construction of a monument in the State Capitol park in honor of the
contributions, history, and culture made by Native Americans in
California. It would require that the planning, construction, and
maintenance of the monument be funded with private donations through
a nonprofit foundation to be established.  The bill would require
the department to prepare a maintenance agreement outlining the
responsibility of that nonprofit foundation for the long-term
maintenance of the monument due to aging, vandalism, or relocation.
The bill would require the department, in conjunction with the
Historic State Capitol Commission and that nonprofit foundation, to
approve the design, determine the location, review preliminary design
plans, and review final construction documents for the monument, as
provided. The bill would prohibit construction of the monument until
the master plan of the State Capitol Park is approved and adopted by
the Joint Committee on Rules, and the Joint Committee on Rules and
the Department of Finance have determined that sufficient private
funding is available to construct and maintain the memorial. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
