AI Summary
This bill amends the Flag Display Act to restrict flag displays on government buildings across Illinois. Specifically, it would limit flag displays on buildings used by state government, local government units, and school districts to only two flags: the United States national flag and the POW/MIA flag. The POW/MIA flag, which represents Prisoners of War and Missing in Action service members, would be given equal prominence alongside the national flag, emphasizing respect for military personnel who have been captured or gone missing during military service. While the provided XML does not show the exact language being inserted, the government summary suggests the bill aims to standardize and simplify flag display protocols for public buildings across different levels of government in Illinois.
