To display the Ten Commandments in public schools
HB 3041 requires West Virginia public elementary and secondary schools to display a specific version of the Ten Commandments in every classroom starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The display must be a durable poster or framed copy at least 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall, containing the exact text of the Ten Commandments as specified in the bill, and legible from any point in the classroom. Schools without compliant displays must accept private donations of qualifying posters or replace existing displays using public funds or donations. The bill also mandates that schools offer surplus displays to other public schools.
