This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 18-9I-1, to the Code of West Virginia, which mandates that public elementary and secondary schools make the Aitken Bible available in fourth grade, eighth grade, and 10th grade social studies classrooms. The bill specifies that while schools may accept private donations to fulfill this requirement, no public funds can be utilized for this purpose.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the requirement to provide the Aitken Bible extends to public charter schools as well. This ensures that all public educational institutions, regardless of their charter status, adhere to the same guidelines regarding the distribution of the Aitken Bible in specified classrooms.
