Relating to statues placed in Capitol rotunda

Senate Bill 598 would replace the existing statue of Robert C. Byrd (a former U.S. Senator from West Virginia) in the Capitol rotunda with four new statues: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, James Madison, and Arthur I. Boreman (West Virginia's first governor), each to be placed in a separate corner of the rotunda. The bill directs the Department of Administration's General Services Division to execute the replacement using funds from a pre-established "capitol renovation and improvement fund." This is a procedural change to Capitol artwork with no policy impact on residents or government operations. The bill does not alter state laws or create new obligations for citizens.
