AN ACT relating to the display of the Ten Commandments in schools.

HB 65 requires every public elementary and secondary school classroom in Kentucky to display a permanent 16x20 inch copy of the Ten Commandments on a wall. The bill mandates that a small-print note stating "The secular application of the Ten Commandments is clearly seen in its adoption as the fundamental legal code of Western Civilization and the Common Law of the United States" appear below the display. Funding for these displays would come solely from voluntary contributions to the State Treasurer, not taxpayer funds. The bill directly affects all public schools in Kentucky and their funding mechanisms for classroom displays.
