Senator Sutton proposes the following amendment (SMIN-508.MW0027S):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 2, by striking Section 10-1-165(C) and inserting:

 (C)(1) The prohibition on disturbing or altering a monument or memorial contained in this section includes affixing to or placing on or near a monument or memorial, or the public property upon which the monument or memorial is located, plaques, markers, anything that facilitates the transmission of messages through digital or electronic means, or other messages or message delivery devices or platforms that are related to the monument or memorial but are not original to the monument or memorial.
  (2)However, this subsection does not prohibit the public body having ownership or control of the monument or memorial from authorizing plaques, markers, QR codes, photographs, digital content, interpretive materials, educational materials, or other similar supplemental information, including QR codes or other similar digital or electronic informational tools, on or near a monument or memorial, or on the public property upon which the monument or memorial is located, for the limited purpose of providing historical context, correcting inaccuracies, updating factual information, adding newly identified names, dates, or service records, recognizing subsequent factual developments, or otherwise preserving and enhancing the public's understanding of the monument or memorial, provided that:
   (a) the supplemental information is factual, content-neutral, and non-editorial;
   (b) the supplemental information does not advocate, condemn, praise, or include political commentary unrelated to the original commemorative purpose;
   (c) the supplemental information is clearly supplemental to, and not a replacement for, the original monument, memorial, inscription, or dedication;
   (d) the supplemental information does not result in the relocation, removal, destruction, concealment, or material alteration of the original monument or memorial or its original inscriptions; and
   (e) if a dispute arises as to whether proposed supplemental information complies with this subsection, the Department of Archives and History, upon written request of the public body having ownership or control of the monument or memorial, may issue written approval, and that approval satisfies the requirements of this subsection and does not require a joint resolution of the General Assembly.
