State Government - As introduced, directs the state capitol commission to be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the monument to unborn children through funds appropriated to the commission. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 20; Title 29; Title 36; Title 39; Title 40; Title 41; Title 49; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

SB 738 directs Tennessee's state capitol commission to handle the upkeep and maintenance of the "monument to unborn children" using existing funds allocated to the commission. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee law (Titles 4, 8, 20, 29, 36, 39, 40, 41, 49, 56, 63, 68, and 71) to formally assign this responsibility. It does not create new funding or alter the monument's purpose, only specifying that the commission manages its physical care through currently appropriated resources. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on maintenance logistics without introducing new policy or affecting other groups.
