This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that restricts the display of flags on public property by individuals who are elected, appointed, or employed by a public body or public educational institution while acting in an official capacity. The current law remains unchanged, but the new provisions specify that only certain flags may be displayed, including the American flag, POW/MIA flag, Arizona state flag, and several others, while prohibiting the display of any other flags.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the restrictions do not apply to approved educational curricula and do not infringe upon civil and political liberties as guaranteed by the U.S. and Arizona constitutions. Definitions for "public body" and "public educational institution" are included, maintaining their existing meanings as prescribed in current statutes. Overall, the bill aims to standardize flag displays on public property while ensuring compliance with federal guidelines.
