S.B. No. 10 is a legislative bill that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in public elementary and secondary school classrooms in Texas. The bill introduces a new section, Section 1.0041, to the Education Code, which requires each classroom to display a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in a conspicuous location. The poster must be at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and the text must be legible from anywhere in the classroom. The specific text of the Ten Commandments is outlined in the bill, and schools are required to accept privately donated copies that meet these specifications if they do not already have a display.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that schools are not exempt from this requirement and provides for the attorney general to defend schools against any legal claims related to compliance with this section. The state will be liable for any associated costs or settlements. The law is set to take effect at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, with provisions for immediate effect if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature.
