Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The In God We Trust Act would require the General Services Administration to display or inscribe the national motto "In God We Trust" on all federal buildings within one year of the law's enactment. The requirement applies to every public building managed by the federal government and specifies that the motto must be placed in a prominent location. The bill does not specify any particular funding amount for implementation, suggesting costs would be absorbed by existing agency budgets. This legislation would affect all federal facilities across the country, from office buildings to courthouses to other government structures. The bill was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
