This bill requires South Dakota public schools to display the state motto "Under God the People Rule" in a prominent location like an entryway or cafeteria. If a school or school employee gets sued over displaying this motto or the national motto, the state attorney general will provide free legal representation and cover all costs, including any damages or attorney fees the school would owe.
