AI Summary

This bill creates a new section of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 2 to allow the "Freedom Flag" to be flown as a "Flag of Remembrance" each September 11, which is officially recognized as Patriot Day under federal law (36 U.S.C. sec. 144). The Flag of Remembrance is defined as the Freedom Flag, which was designated by Virginia in 2018. The bill specifies the design of the Freedom Flag, including a blue background with a white star representing unity and those who lived and died for freedom, surrounded by white bars symbolizing the Pentagon and the protection of American freedom. The outer portion of the flag features white and red stripes representing rescue workers, firefighters, police officers, and others who worked during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, as well as the victims of the attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on the four hijacked planes.
