AB 1459: State Capitol: mural honoring Native Americans.

Existing law, known as the State Capitol Building Annex Act of 2016, authorizes the Joint Rules Committee to pursue the construction of a State Capitol Building Annex or the restoration, rehabilitation, renovation, or reconstruction of the existing State Capitol Building Annex. Existing law requires any construction, restoration, rehabilitation, renovation, or reconstruction work undertaken pursuant to the act to incorporate specified elements.

This bill would require any construction, restoration, rehabilitation, renovation, or reconstruction work undertaken pursuant to the act to also incorporate a mural honoring Native Americans in California in one of the main hearing rooms in the newly constructed State Capitol Building Annex or the restored, rehabilitated, renovated, or reconstructed State Capitol Building Annex. The bill would require the mural to be designed in consultation with the Native American Heritage Commission.
