The new law attempts to preserve history by making it illegal to remove monuments that have been in place for more than 40 years.
The Alabama Memorial Preservation Act of 2017, signed into law Wednesday by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R), protects historical Confederate monuments which have come under fire in recent weeks by Democratic politicians.
The new legislation prohibits:
The relocation, removal, alteration, renaming, or other disturbance of any architecturally significant building, memorial building, memorial street, or monument located on public property which has been in place for 40 or more years.

Good Link. Good Article.
HOORAY Alabama!
Good for Alabama.
Corey Stewart, candidate for Gov. of Virginia has taken a similar stance, unlike the VAGOP choice, Ed Gillespie, Cheap Labor Express Republican, who is a New Jersey carpetbagger.
Famed liberal philosopher and essayist, George Santayana, who was born during
the Civil war is famous for saying,
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Liberals are even forgetting their own icons.
Good.
Libs have a nice racket going by getting history removed, and they are even getting Republican politicians to do it.
Maybe now more states will grow a backbone and stop the cleansing insanity.
Very questionable constitutionally. Can a state government mandate to cities what monuments they have to maintain on city property?
Will the state of South Carolina try to seize Fort Sumter again?
They're counting on us to be gone by then.
That law is going to be challenged in court when a city decides to remove a city owned monument.
The city will claim the right to control their property, the state will claim they have control of all municipally owned monuments and structures.
State law supersedes them, so yes.
Just like state legislature can pass bills prohibiting city councils from making infringing gun control laws.
Thank you Alabama.
Now a demand by the people to put the monuments back. They are historically significant.
“This country’s Marxists will surely challenge this law in the Federal courts.”
Do you believe that local governments and private organizations should have the right to manage their own property as they see fit?
Fort Sumter was U.S. federal property.
You want a state dictating to local governments what monuments they must have in their property?
