EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to provide for the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools.
Idaho's H 238 requires all public schools receiving state funds to display a specific, 16x20 inch poster of the Ten Commandments in a visible location. The poster must include the exact wording listed in the bill, without additional content, and must meet size and legibility standards. Schools that don't already have compliant displays may accept private donations meeting these requirements. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all Idaho public schools under state education authority.
