What’s in it

AI summary People in charge of public buildings can fly the POW/MIA flag on days when the weather is good. All state-owned buildings must display this flag according to federal rules. When it is flown, the POW/MIA flag must be placed right next to or directly underneath the United States flag.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that a custodian of a public building may raise the national league of families POW/MIA flag upon each secular day when weather conditions are favorable. If the national league of families POW/MIA flag is flown by a public building, it must be flown second in order of precedence, directly underneath, or adjacent to, the flag of the United States of America. The bill requires all state-owned buildings to display the national league of families POW/MIA flag in accordance with federal rules.
