This legislation was introduced at the request of the Department ofAdministration to ensure that requests for placement of busts, statues, memorials, and other long term displays in the Capitol or the adjacent grounds were subject to thorough, unbiased, and equitable scrutiny by an advisory group consisting of individuals knowledgeable and interested in the historical preservation of the Capitol Complex. Under this legislation, the Legislature continues to make the final determination on long-term displayed items. However, the act provides an advisory process that legislators may rely upon in making these decisions. The Capitol Complex Advisory Council consists of nine members as follows; o four legislators, two from each house; o a public representative; and o the director or the director’s designee of each of the following agencies: o the Montana Historical Society; o the Montana Arts Council; o the Department ofAdministration; and o the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. A list ofthe Council’s current membership is contained in Appendix A. The statutory duties and responsibilities assigned to the Council include; o reviewing proposals for long term displays or the naming of State buildings on the Capitol Complex; o advising the Legislature on the long term display of busts, statues, memorials, monuments, or art displays within the Capitol Complex, including the executive residence and the original governor’s mansion; o advising the Department ofAdministration on interior decoration of the Capitol; o advising the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks on grounds maintenance and displays; o advising the Department ofAdministration on policies governing maintenance and beautification of the Capitol, executive residence, and original governor’s mansion; and o advising the Departments ofAdministration and Fish, Wildlife, and Parks on establishing and maintaining a long-range master plan for the orderly development of the Capitol Complex. In addition, the Council must report to the Legislature by November 1 5 of each year preceding a legislative session on requests that it has reviewed for naming buildings and for long term placement of items in the Capitol or on the Capitol Complex grounds. The report must include a recommendation on whether reviewed requests meet certain statutory criteria. If a request meets the criteria, the Council must recommend a time frame during which the project should be authorized.
