SB 25-287

Senate Bill 25-287 modifies the responsibilities of the Capitol Building Advisory Committee by expanding its oversight to include public areas in the capitol building annex and the legislative services building. The bill also allows for the temporary or permanent removal of original art, memorials, furniture, and architectural fixtures from the capitol building for purposes like conservation, loan, exhibit, research, or disposition, with approval from the advisory committee. This change affects how historical items in Colorado's capitol complex are managed and preserved. Since the bill has been signed into law, these modifications are now official policy.

Official Summary

The capitol building advisory committee (advisory committee) has been charged with evaluating and making 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 act 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 such proposals. The act also allows art, memorials, furniture, and architectural fixtures that are original to the capitol building and that were previously permitted to be removed only temporarily and only for conservation to be temporarily or permanently removed for conservation, loan, exhibit, research, or disposition with the approval of the advisory committee. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
