A bill signed into law by Florida Gov. Rick Scott in March now means students will see “In God We Trust” displayed at all schools in the state.
WPTV reported that the law requires the state motto to be shown in a "conspicuous place."
According to state statute 1003.44, "Each district school board shall adopt rules to require, in all of the schools of the district and in each building used by the district school board, the display of the state motto, 'In God We Trust,' designated under s. 15.0301, in a conspicuous place."
According to the Florida Department of State, "In God We Trust" was adopted by the state legislature as part of the state seal in 1868. It was officially designated as Florida's state motto in 2006.
