This bill mandates that starting in the 2025-2026 school year, all public schools in Oklahoma must display a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in each classroom. The display must be conspicuous and meet specific size and legibility requirements, ensuring that the text is readable from anywhere in the classroom. The bill also outlines the exact text of the Ten Commandments to be used in these displays. Schools that do not have a compliant display must accept privately donated copies that meet the specified criteria and display them accordingly.
Additionally, if a school has existing displays that do not meet the new requirements, they are permitted to replace them with compliant versions. Schools are also required to donate any unused copies of the Ten Commandments to other public schools. The bill includes provisions for codification and declares an emergency for its immediate effect upon passage, with an effective date set for July 1, 2025.
