What’s in it
AI summary People in charge of public buildings must fly the United States and Iowa flags at half-staff when the governor orders it. If someone believes these rules are being ignored, they can report the issue to the attorney general. The attorney general then has the power to take legal action to make sure the flags are handled correctly.1
