Senator Sutton proposes the following amendment (SMIN-508.MW0033S):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 2, Section 10-1-165, by adding a subsection to read:

 (K)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if a historic figure for whom a street, bridge, structure, park, preserve, reserve, installation, nameplate, or other commemorative property is named or dedicated was, prior to death, convicted of, or is shown by clear and convincing evidence contained in judicial records, sworn testimony, certified law enforcement records, or other contemporaneous documentary records determined by the Department of Archives and History to be reliable, to have committed an offense involving human trafficking, criminal sexual conduct with a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, or child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury or death, the public body having ownership or control of the property may petition the Department of Archives and History for expedited written approval to remove the name or dedication.
  (2) The Department shall issue a written decision on an expedited basis. Approval under this subsection does not require the General Assembly to enact a joint resolution directing the action to be taken.
  (3) This subsection applies only to the removal of a name or dedication and does not authorize the destruction, concealment, or removal of the underlying monument or memorial itself unless otherwise authorized by law.
  (4)This subsection may not be used based solely on ideological disagreement, public controversy, reassessment of a person's historical role, or conduct judged only by modern standards rather than by a criminal conviction or plea.
