This bill mandates that starting with 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 provides the exact text of the Ten Commandments to be used for these displays. Schools are required to accept privately donated copies that meet these criteria and to replace any existing displays that do not comply with the new standards.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a school has unused copies of the Ten Commandments, they must be offered as donations to other public schools. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
