SB 294 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizing replacement of Robert C. Byrd statue with statue of George Washington

This bill requires replacing the Robert C. Byrd statue in the West Virginia Capitol rotunda with four new statues - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, James Madison, and Arthur I. Boreman - each placed in a corner of the rotunda. It directs the Department of Administration to use existing funds from the "capitol renovation and improvement fund" for this replacement, without creating new costs or policy changes. The bill is purely procedural, affecting Capitol decor, not public policy or citizen rights.
