Section 4b-62. (Formerly Sec. 4-135). - Trusts for erecting and maintaining memorials.

The Commissioner of Administrative Services may accept and execute any trusts, testamentary or otherwise, created or established for the purpose of procuring, erecting and maintaining any memorial on public grounds or within public buildings of the state or any municipality therein, and the court of probate in which a will creating any such trust has been proved may appoint said commissioner as trustee to execute such trust without requiring said commissioner to furnish a probate bond as such trustee; but this section shall not be construed as empowering said commissioner to erect or maintain any such memorial upon the grounds or within or upon any public building belonging to the state without the consent of the General Assembly, nor upon any grounds nor within or upon any public building belonging to any city or town, without the consent of the common council of the city or the selectmen of the town, as the case may be. The commissioner shall not, without special authority from the General Assembly, make, erect or remove from its location any statue or sculpture upon the property of the state.
