A. This section shall be known and may be cited as the “Ten

Commandments Monument Display Act”.

B. The State Capitol Preservation Commission or designee is

hereby authorized to permit and arrange for the placement on the

State Capitol grounds of a suitable monument displaying the Ten

Commandments. The Ten Commandments monument shall use the same

words used on the monument at issue in Van Orden v. Perry, that the

United States Supreme Court ruled constitutional. This monument

shall be designed, constructed, and placed on the Capitol grounds by

private entities at no expense to the State of Oklahoma. The State

Capitol Preservation Commission or designee is authorized to assist

private entities in selecting a location for the monument and

arranging a suitable time for its placement.

C. In the event that the legality or constitutionality of the

Ten Commandments monument is challenged in a court of law, the

Oklahoma Attorney General or Liberty Legal Institute is hereby

authorized to prepare and present a legal defense of the monument.

D. The placement of this monument shall not be construed to

mean that the State of Oklahoma favors any particular religion or

denomination thereof over others, but rather will be placed on the

Capitol grounds where there are numerous other monuments.
