LB 122 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require display of the state and national motto in schools

LB 122 requires Nebraska school boards to display the national motto "In God We Trust" and the state motto "Equality Under the Law" in every classroom or prominent location within school buildings. The display must be at least 8.5x11 inches, legible in English, and visible to students daily during school sessions. School boards may accept contributions to cover the costs of implementing this requirement. The bill directly affects all Nebraska public schools and their governing boards. It is a procedural requirement focused on visible display, not on altering educational content or policy.
