AI Summary
This bill requires state agencies and political subdivisions, which include cities, villages, counties, school districts, and other local government entities, to purchase flags of the United States and the State of Nebraska that are manufactured entirely in the United States, using materials also produced or manufactured in the United States, starting January 1, 2027, and prohibits the use of public funds for flags that do not meet this requirement.
