The bill amends Arkansas Code 1-4-133 to mandate the display of both the national motto "In God We Trust" and the Ten Commandments in public institutions, including schools and government buildings. It specifies that local school superintendents, building administrators, and state agency officials are responsible for prominently displaying these items in a conspicuous location. The national motto must be presented on a durable poster or framed copy that is at least 11 x 14 inches, while the Ten Commandments must be displayed on a separate durable poster or framed copy measuring at least 16 x 20 inches. The text of the Ten Commandments is explicitly outlined in the bill.
Additionally, the bill allows for the replacement of any non-compliant copies or posters with ones that meet the specified requirements, either using public funds or through private donations. It also includes a provision for institutions to donate any surplus copies or posters to other institutions that require them. The bill emphasizes that the funding for these displays should come from voluntary contributions, although it allows for public funds to be used if necessary to meet the display requirements.
