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 Additionally, schools are encouraged to display other historical documents, such as the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence, alongside the Ten Commandments. The bill emphasizes that schools may use donated funds or displays to fulfill these requirements, ensuring that no public school governing authority is mandated to spend its own funds for this purpose.

The bill also includes a legislative intent section that highlights 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 religious texts in public spaces, asserting that these displays are part of the nation's history and culture. Furthermore, charter schools are specifically mentioned as being subject to the same display requirements as public schools, ensuring consistency across educational institutions. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
