freedom of speech monument; committee

SB 1663 establishes a "Freedom of Speech Monument Committee" composed of legislative leaders and the chief justice to select individuals honored on a monument. The committee nominates two deceased contributors to free speech (deceased at least five years) from different political parties annually. The bill specifies that public funds cannot cover monument costs, requiring private fundraising and design by proponents, and repeals the committee's authority after September 30, 2029. It does not change existing laws but creates a procedural framework for the monument's development.
