METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires the director of the Division of Archives and Records Management to compile and maintain a list of public monuments. This bill would create a new function within the Department of State, Division of Archives and Vital records by requiring them to compile a survey of all monuments in the state maintained by local or state authorities and to make it available to the public thru the Division's website as well as sharing it with the Department of Education (DOE).
The Department of States indicates the fiscal impact would be an increase in General Fund expenditures for FY 2024 thru FY 2026. The Department of State indicates in order to implement this statute they would need to hire a Historian, at labor grade DD, who would be responsible for creating the survey, following up with state agencies and municipalities, as well as researching monuments not reported, maintaining the list of monuments, sharing the list with DOE and putting the information on the Division's website. The Department assumes this position, overtime, will be converted to a part time position. In addition to the position, there will be additional costs for developing and mailing the survey, developing a data collection tool and the use of outside resources to ensure all data added to the website is ADA compliant.
This bill does not establish or provide an appropriation for new positions.
