Summary

The bill directs the Alabama State Department of Education to create a standard version of the U.S. Bill of Rights and require every public school to display it in each classroom and post it on the local board’s website. Parents may notify superintendents of any non‑compliance, and if the school does not fix the issue within 30 days, they can sue for declaratory and injunctive relief, with possible attorney‑fee awards.
