Frankfort, KY — In a large bipartisan vote, the Senate has sent legislation requiring the display of the nation motto in public elementary and secondary schools to the Governor’s desk. House Bill 46 requires schools to display “In God We Trust” in a prominent location, such as a school entryway, cafeteria, or common area. The display may take the form of a mounted plaque or student artwork but is not limited to those items. “In God We Trust” has served as America’s national motto since 1956, and is featured on money, license plates, and a variety of other platforms. If signed into law, local school boards would be required to implement the measure at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year.
