House Bill 3559 amends the Government Code to change the name of the Texas Peace Officers' Memorial to the Texas Peace Officers' Memorial Monument and to authorize the State Preservation Board to raise money from private or public entities for the continued maintenance and update of the monument, rather than requiring the Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) to do so and transfer that money to the board. The bill requires an entity that collects funds for the monument to send that money to the board, rather than to TCLEOSE, for deposit in the Capitol fund account and clarifies that the purpose of such collected funds is for the maintenance and improvement of the monument.
