HARTWELL, Ga., -- Yesterday afternoon (May 7, 2012) Georgia Governor Nathan Deal held a bill signing ceremony for HB 766. The new law amends a 2006 law that allowed the posting of 9 historical documents, including a copy of the Ten Commandments, in Courthouses. The new law allows "The Foundations of American Law & Government Display" to be posted in 'all' public buildings!
Dr. Jody Hice, President and founder of Ten Commandments Ga commends Governor Nathan Deal, Representative Tommy Benton, and Senator Bill Heath (bill sponsors) for recognizing the importance of these documents and the need to communicate them to all Georgians. Dr. Hice went on to say that he thought "the legislation passed this year should serve as a model for all 50 states. The country should recognize what we have done here and try to duplicate it over and over again!"
Twenty two counties in Georgia have already displayed the documents that Gov. Sonny Perdue signed into law on July 1, 2006.

"The Foundations of American Law & Government Display" is being made available through the ministry of Ten Commandments-GA, Inc. We serve as a resource for private citizens, churches, civic clubs and organizations to purchase these documents and to present them for approval to their local governing boards, commissions and councils. TC-GA has beautifully designed to legal specifications the nine piece historical display.
