This bill amends Section 1B.3 of the Code 2026 regarding the display of flags at half-staff on public buildings in Iowa. 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 the board of public officers responsible for public buildings must provide a suitable state flag and mandates that the custodian of the building shall raise the flags of the United States and Iowa on favorable weather days.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the flags must 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.
