Bill Summary
Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Adding Section 11-1-130 So As To Provide That State Departments, Agencies, Institutions, And Political Subdivisions May Not Use Public Funds To Purchase Certain Flags Unless The Flags Are Made In The United States.
AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina state law by adding a new section that prohibits state departments, agencies, institutions, and political subdivisions (including school districts) from using public funds to purchase flags of the United States or South Carolina unless those flags are 100% manufactured in the United States using materials, articles, or supplies that have been grown, produced, or manufactured entirely within the United States. The legislation allows entities to continue using flags they have already purchased until those flags need to be replaced. By implementing this requirement, the bill aims to support domestic manufacturing and ensure that public funds are used to purchase flags produced exclusively within the United States. The new law would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, potentially impacting how government entities in South Carolina procure flags in the future.
