Bill > HR0006

This resolution urges all entities in Illinois to exclusively fly the American flag and the Illinois state flag, based on the belief that these two flags best represent the state's diversity and the country's commitment to freedom. The resolution suggests that flying foreign flags or additional flags is unnecessary and potentially disrespectful, particularly in light of recent events where some public institutions have chosen to display flags other than the U.S. flag. The document emphasizes that the United States is a "trailblazer for freedom" and that its flag symbolizes the inclusive and free nature of the country. As a formal action, the resolution calls for a copy of the document to be delivered to Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias to communicate the legislative body's stance on flag display. While the resolution does not appear to have legal enforcement power, it serves as a strong statement of preference from the Illinois House of Representatives regarding flag protocols for public and institutional settings.
