Establishing non-denominational chapel within WV State Capitol building

Senate Bill 771 establishes a non-denominational chapel within the West Virginia Capitol building, open to all visitors, legislators, and employees for prayer, meditation, and religious observance regardless of faith. The bill designates the Department of Administration to manage the chapel's maintenance and operations, requiring a non-discriminatory Capitol Chapel Advisory Committee with legislative and public members. Funding will come from state appropriations, private donations, or grants, with explicit prohibition against using state funds to promote any specific religion. The chapel must operate as a neutral space adhering to First Amendment religious freedom principles, open during regular Capitol business hours. This bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
