The bill amends Section 67-2303A of the Idaho Code to revise the regulations regarding flags displayed by governmental entities. It specifies that only certain flags may be flown on government property, including the United States flag, official state flags, military flags, the POW/MIA flag, flags of recognized Indian tribes, and flags commemorating special occasions or historic relations, with specific exclusions for countries engaged in hostile actions against the U.S. Additionally, it allows for the display of an Idaho college or university flag if designated by official policy and permits non-political, non-religious banners on government property.

The bill introduces new provisions, including a civil penalty of $2,000 per day for non-compliance and establishes the Attorney General's authority to enforce these regulations. Before taking legal action, the Attorney General must notify the governmental entity of the violation and provide a ten-day period to rectify it. If the violation is not corrected, the Attorney General can pursue legal action to enforce compliance and recover penalties. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
