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

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.

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.
