History Colorado shall advise and consult with the state archivist regarding the creation on an appropriate display that will safeguard the original draft of the Colorado constitution. The state capitol building advisory committee shall evaluate the proposal and consider whether to approve the proposal in accordance with the criteria and procedures for placing other displays within the state capitol building pursuant to section 24-82-108 (3)(h).

The state archivist may contract with an online exhibit design company to determine the best practices when presenting the Colorado constitution in an educational format that is easily accessible and user-friendly for the general population of the state.
