The bill amends Section 67-2303A of the Idaho Code to establish specific regulations regarding the display of flags by governmental entities. It defines "governmental entity" to include the state of Idaho, counties, municipalities, special districts, and other political subdivisions, excluding schools, colleges, and universities. The bill stipulates that these entities may only display certain flags, which include the United States flag, the official flag of the governmental entity, flags of any U.S. state, military branch flags, the POW/MIA flag, official flags of Indian tribes, flags of foreign countries for special occasions, and flags of Idaho colleges, universities, and public schools.

Additionally, the bill empowers the division of veterans services to create rules for the proper protocol regarding the location and display of flags on state property. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
