The bill now heads back to the Senate for final approval, following a last-minute amendment that was crafted with input from both chambers (the amendment clarifies that the state, instead of the schools or school districts, will defend and pay for any legal challenges to the law). Once reconciled, the measure will move to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk, where it is expected to be signed into law.

The bill’s current version is titled “Display of Ten Commandments,” and it goes:

(a) Subject to Subsection (e), a public elementary or secondary school shall display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments that meets the requirements of Subsection (b).
