Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 436 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 1831 of the Military and Veterans Code, relating to the military.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing California law to establish specific protocols for displaying the POW/MIA Flag, which represents prisoners of war and those missing in action. Firstly, it modifies Section 436 of the Government Code to specify that if the National Flag (United States Flag), the State Flag (California Flag), and the POW/MIA Flag are flown together on a single flagpole, the National Flag must be flown highest, followed by the State Flag, and then the POW/MIA Flag. Secondly, it amends Section 1831 of the Military and Veterans Code, which already designates the third Friday of September as POW/MIA Recognition Day and mandates the flying of the POW/MIA Flag at state-owned buildings and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial under certain conditions, by adding a provision that the POW/MIA Flag's display must now comply with the flagpole order established in the amended Government Code section.
