This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 5A-4-7, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which mandates the placement of a statue honoring U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom in a corner of the Capitol rotunda. The legislation directs the secretary of the Department of Administration to oversee the planning and installation of the statue, ensuring that it is appropriately situated within the Capitol.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that funding for the statue will be sourced from the existing "capitol renovation and improvement fund." It also specifies that the base of the statue will feature a list of Specialist Beckstrom's military awards, along with her date of birth and date of death, thereby commemorating her service and legacy.
