Summary

The bill would require every public and charter school in Indiana to provide age‑appropriate Bible instruction from kindergarten through 12th grade, covering its history, moral teachings and impact on Western civilization. It also prohibits state agencies, local governments and schools from refusing any benefit to a person because of the state constitution’s religious provision, the separation‑of‑church‑and‑state doctrine, or the federal establishment clause, with limited exceptions. A person harmed by such a denial could sue for damages and recover attorney’s fees.
