Revise education laws to prohibit certain flags and banners in school and require phrase "In God we trust" displayed in each classroom of a public school

SB 407 would have prohibited public schools in Montana from displaying flags, banners, or symbols promoting social or political causes on school property, while requiring the display of the national motto "In God We Trust" in every classroom. The bill specified that the motto must appear on a minimum 8x10 inch poster or plaque with clear, readable text, and allowed schools to use district funds or donations for this purpose. It also amended existing law to clarify that displaying the motto does not violate rules against distributing sectarian materials. The bill died in committee on May 23, 2025, and is not active legislation.
