AI Summary
This bill designates the Freedom Flag, created by the Freedom Flag Foundation, as an official symbol of North Carolina's remembrance of the lives lost during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The legislation specifically authorizes the Freedom Flag to be flown alongside the United States and North Carolina state flags on public buildings, institutions, and county courthouses every September 11th. Additionally, the bill allows public offices and officials to accept donations of Freedom Flags for display on this commemorative date. The bill adds a new section to Chapter 145 of the North Carolina General Statutes and becomes effective immediately upon becoming law. By creating this official recognition, the bill aims to provide a ongoing, annual tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks and ensure their memory is preserved through a symbolic flag display.
