Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the flying, draping, or other display of any flag other than the flag of the United States at public buildings, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "One Flag for All Act," aims to restrict the display of flags in public buildings to only the United States flag, with several specific exceptions. The bill prohibits flying, draping, or displaying any flag other than the U.S. flag on the exterior of public buildings or in public-accessible areas. However, the legislation allows numerous exceptions, including flags representing POW/MIA, visiting diplomats, state flags in congressional offices, military unit flags, historical flags (like the Betsy Ross flag), public safety flags, commemorative flags (such as 9/11 Memorial flag), religious organization flags during military ceremonies, federal agency flags, Native American tribal flags, and flags representing the state, territory, county, city, or local jurisdiction where the building is located. The bill defines "covered public buildings" broadly, including Senate and House buildings, military installations, and U.S. embassies or consulates. By establishing these guidelines, the legislation seeks to prioritize the U.S. flag while still allowing for meaningful and contextually appropriate flag displays in public spaces.
