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 display must be a minimum size of eleven inches by fourteen inches, with the text prominently featured in a large, readable font. Additionally, schools are encouraged to display other historical documents, including the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and the Northwest Ordinance. The bill emphasizes that the displays should not create an unfunded mandate on schools, allowing them to accept donations for the purchase or display of these documents.

The bill also includes a legislative intent section that outlines the historical significance of the Ten Commandments and their role in American education. It references various Supreme Court rulings that support the display of such documents on public property and asserts that including these documents in education reflects the nation's history and values. Furthermore, charter schools are specifically mentioned as being subject to the same display requirements as public schools. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
