KY HB670

Public schools, public charter schools, and public postsecondary institutions must conspicuously display the Ten Commandments in each classroom by January 1, 2027

Displays must be on a poster or framed document at least 16 inches by 20 inches, with the Ten Commandments text as the central focus in large, easily readable font, along with a required historical context statement

Schools and institutions are prohibited from using public funds to purchase the displays and may only accept donated displays that meet the requirements

The Kentucky Department of Education and Council on Postsecondary Education must adopt administrative regulations for enforcement and identify free resources for compliance on their websites

The bill cites Supreme Court decisions including Van Orden v. Perry (2005) and American Legion v. American Humanist Association (2019) as legal justification for displaying the Ten Commandments on government property
