This bill mandates that starting with the 2025-2026 school year, every public school 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 provides the exact text of the Ten Commandments to be used and outlines the conditions under which schools can accept privately donated displays that meet these requirements.
Additionally, if a school currently has displays that do not meet the new standards, they are permitted to replace them with compliant donated versions. Schools are also required to donate any unused displays 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.
