Establishing non-denominational chapel within WV State Capitol building
SB 918 would create a non-denominational chapel inside the West Virginia State Capitol building for prayer, meditation, and religious reflection open to all faiths and visitors. The Department of Administration would manage the chapel and form an advisory committee with legislative members and public representatives to ensure inclusive use. The bill specifies that state funds cannot promote any specific religion, and the chapel must remain neutral, with all usage guided by non-discriminatory policies.
