This bill enacts new provisions in Louisiana law requiring public elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom by January 1, 2025. The displays must be at least eleven inches by fourteen inches and prominently feature the text of the Ten Commandments in a large, readable font. Additionally, schools are encouraged to display other historical documents, including the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence, and may do so through donations rather than using public funds. The bill emphasizes the historical significance of these documents and the intent to educate students about their foundational role in American law and culture.

The legislation also includes a provision that charter schools are exempt from certain statutory mandates, except for the requirement to display the Ten Commandments as outlined in the new law. The bill aims to ensure that students understand and appreciate the historical context of these documents while providing flexibility for schools to fund the displays through donations. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
