Bill > S2170

This bill updates the official flag of the Commonwealth by modifying Chapter 2 of the General Laws. Specifically, the legislation replaces the existing section 3 with a new description of the commonwealth's flag and naval/maritime flag. The new flag design will be a red ensign (a type of flag historically used by maritime nations) featuring a green pine tree on a white field in the canton (the upper corner of the flag near the flagpole). Additionally, the naval and maritime flag will be a white rectangular flag with a green pine tree representation on each side. By making these changes, the bill provides a precise legal description of the commonwealth's flags, potentially updating their visual design or codifying an existing design into law.
