In God We Trust Act

# In God We Trust Act (S 2736) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The "In God We Trust Act" is a bill introduced in the Senate that would require the national motto "In God We Trust" to be displayed in public schools. The bill is named after the phrase, which has been the official U.S. national motto since 1956 and appears on U.S. currency. **Who It Affects:** This legislation would primarily affect public schools and school districts across the country, requiring them to post the motto in a visible location.

Students, parents, educators, and school administrators would be the groups most directly impacted by any new display requirements. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) but has not advanced further in the legislative process. No action has been taken since its introduction.
