Summary
The bill would mandate that each public school and charter school display the Ten Commandments, at minimum as an 11‑by‑14‑inch poster or framed document, beginning Jan. 1, 2027. School boards would decide the exact format and could use district funds or donations to obtain the displays, but are not forced to spend money. The measure failed to advance.
