Henry Signs Ten Commandments Monument Bill
Governor Henry today signed into law a measure that allows the placement of a Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds.
The Senate last week gave House Bill 1330, By Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, and Senator Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, final passage.
The monument is to be placed where there are numerous monuments, the measure said.
The bill passed despite concerns that it could draw a costly legal challenge and could be interpreted as an endorsement of a religion. Brogdon said a private law firm has offered to defend the bill on a pro bono basis if such a legal challenge occurs.
