Bill Summary
Amending the act of June 13, 1907 (P.L.560, No.373), entitled "An act designating the official flag of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and describing the same; providing for the carrying of such flag by the regiments of the National Guard of Pennsylvania; authorizing the Secretary of the Commonwealth to provide, and have deposited in the office of Secretary of the Commonwealth, a model of said flag, and making an appropriation therefor," further providing for title of act; and providing for the proper procedure to fold the designated flag of the Commonwealth.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Pennsylvania state flag legislation by adding specific instructions for the proper folding of the state flag. The bill provides a detailed, five-step procedure for folding the flag, which includes first folding the flag four times lengthwise to display the Commonwealth crest, then creating a triangle-shaped display section, and carefully folding the remaining sections in a precise manner to create a compact, triangular presentation. The goal appears to be establishing a standardized, ceremonial method for folding the Pennsylvania state flag that ensures the flag's crest is prominently displayed and the final folded result is neat and symmetrical. The bill also updates the title of the original 1907 act to reflect the addition of these folding instructions. The new folding procedure seems designed to provide clear guidance for official flag presentations, ceremonies, and displays, ensuring a consistent and respectful handling of the state flag.
