Bill > HB1231

This bill requires every school corporation in Indiana to display a durable poster or framed picture containing the text of the Ten Commandments in every school library and classroom, effective July 1, 2025. The proposed legislation adds a new section to the Indiana Code (IC 20-30-3-6) mandating this display, subject to provisions in IC 36-1-16-2, which likely relates to implementation guidelines or potential local government considerations. By requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in educational settings, the bill appears to be aimed at promoting religious text visibility in public schools, though this could potentially raise constitutional questions about the separation of church and state. The bill does not specify the exact size, design, or specific version of the Ten Commandments to be displayed, leaving those details presumably to individual school corporations to determine.
