Bill Summary
AN ACT PROVIDING THAT STATE INSTITUTIONS AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE SHALL NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO PURCHASE FLAGS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA UNLESS THE FLAGS ARE MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.
AI Summary
This bill requires that state institutions and political subdivisions in North Carolina can only purchase United States and North Carolina flags that are 100% manufactured in the United States, using materials and supplies that are also 100% grown, produced, or manufactured within the United States. Specifically, when using public funds, any government entity in North Carolina must ensure that the flags they buy meet these strict "Made in USA" requirements. The law will take effect on October 1, 2025, and will apply to all flag purchases made on or after that date. This legislation aims to support domestic manufacturing by mandating that government entities prioritize purchasing flags that are entirely produced within the United States, potentially helping to protect and promote American manufacturing jobs and industries.
