This bill establishes the recognition and standards for the display of the historic state flag of Minnesota. It defines the design of the flag, which features a bronze eagle, a blue background, and a circular emblem with specific elements including the word "MINNESOTA" and 19 stars. The bill asserts that all individuals have the right to display the historic state flag on appropriate occasions and mandates that the lieutenant governor set standards for its manufacture and display on state property during designated holidays and legislative sessions.

Additionally, the bill outlines provisions for displaying the historic state flag on other public properties for ceremonial purposes, stipulating that it must be serviceable and displayed beneath the official state flag when both are present. The historic state flag will be replaced by the official flag when not in ceremonial use. The effective date for these provisions is set for May 11, 2026.
