Bill > HR1421

This bill requires that all American flags displayed or procured by federal agencies must be 100% manufactured in the United States using materials and supplies that are also entirely produced in the United States. The bill defines "federal agency" broadly to include executive, military, legislative, and judicial branches, the District of Columbia government, and government-controlled corporations. For flags displayed on federal property, the requirement will take effect two years after the bill's enactment, while procurement restrictions will be implemented 90 days after enactment. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) conduct a comprehensive study on country-of-origin labeling for American flags, assessing the current enforcement scheme, examining any imposed fines or penalties, and identifying repeat violations. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the FTC must submit a report to congressional committees with study results and recommendations for improving the enforcement and deterrent effects of the labeling scheme. Importantly, the bill explicitly states that these requirements do not apply to flags displayed or procured by private entities, and that the provisions will be implemented consistent with existing international agreements.
