With the 2015 installation of the Ronald Reagan statue in the State Capitol basement rotunda, the Historic State Capitol Commission considered it necessary that Legislative Members be provided with suggested guidelines that could provide criteria and standards for future proposed statuary inside the Capitol Building. At its July 14, 2016 meeting, the Commission adopted “Suggested Guidelines for Placement of Statuary in the California State Capitol Building”. The Commission continues to recommend that the Legislature prohibit the addition of statuary in the State Capitol Building; however, if it is the intent of the Legislature to allow statuary in the building, the suggested guidelines should be consulted and followed.
