[i]The bill, SB313 by Sen. Tom Butler, a Republican from Madison County, directs the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to commission the design, construction, and installation of a replica if the original rocket is beyond restoration or repair. The bill says ADECA may contract with any other state or private entity to develop the replica. It says ADECA may accept public or private gifts, grants, and donations, including in-kind services, for the project and may use funds appropriated by the Legislature. The bill does not provide ADECA any funding for the project. Butler's bill replaced one he had introduced earlier that called for development of a replica to the rocket. The original bill included provisions to strengthen the penalties for removing monuments under the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, which was passed in 2017 to protect Confederate monuments. That bill did not advance. SB313 moves to the House of Representatives. [/i]
