The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6040, aims to amend section 4b-60 of the general statutes by requiring the State Commission on Capitol Preservation and Restoration to establish a process for identifying and commissioning additional statues to be added to the exterior of the State Capitol. The intent of this legislation is to ensure that the statues reflect the diversity of the state, thereby promoting inclusivity and representation in the Capitol's public art.

The bill does not specify any deletions from the current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language that mandates the development of this process by the State Commission. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the cultural and historical representation within the state's Capitol, aligning with the values of diversity and inclusion.
