This bill amends Section 1B.3 of the Code of Iowa to clarify the responsibilities regarding the display of flags at public buildings. It defines a "public building" as a vertical improvement used for a public purpose by the state or its political subdivisions. The bill establishes that a board of public officers must provide a suitable state flag, and the custodian of the public building is required to raise the flags of the United States and Iowa on secular days when weather permits.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the flags be flown at half-staff when directed by a proclamation from the governor. It also introduces a mechanism for accountability, allowing individuals to report violations of this requirement to the attorney general, who is empowered to initiate legal action to ensure compliance.
