Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, memorializing marker required under certain circumstances, failure of committee to act results in denial of waiver, fine revised, and duties of Attorney General specified

This bill amends the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act of 2017, which governs the protection of certain public monuments and buildings. It requires governmental entities that replace a memorial building to either maintain its original name or erect a marker to memorialize it. The bill also changes the waiver process, deeming a waiver application denied if the Committee on Alabama Monument Protection fails to act on it within 90 days. Additionally, it revises the daily fine for violations from $25,000 to $5,000 and authorizes the Attorney General to commence civil actions to address ongoing violations.
