Relating to the establishment of a memorial monument dedicated to unborn children on the Capitol grounds.

HB 1143 would authorize the State Preservation Board to establish a memorial monument on Texas Capitol grounds dedicated to "unborn children," using only private donations for its creation, maintenance, and placement. The bill adds a specific exception to existing rules prohibiting new monuments on Capitol grounds, allowing this memorial while maintaining the general restriction that no other new monuments may be placed after September 1, 2009. The monument would be funded exclusively through private contributions, not state funds. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025. This is a procedural bill focused on Capitol grounds memorial placement.
