Bill > A01135

This bill requires that any American flag or New York state flag sold within New York state must be 100% manufactured in the United States, including all materials, articles, and supplies used in their production. Specifically, the bill defines "flag" as referring to only the United States national flag and the New York state flag. By mandating domestic manufacturing, the legislation aims to support American manufacturing jobs and ensure that flag sales in New York exclusively involve products made entirely within the United States. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, which means retailers and flag manufacturers will need to adjust their supply chains to comply with the new requirement. This type of legislation is part of a broader "buy American" trend that seeks to promote domestic production and protect local manufacturing industries.
