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 mandates 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 establishes that the custodian and the board must lower the flags to 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 can then initiate legal action to ensure compliance.
