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 with a gold border, and a circular emblem containing various 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 will set standards for its manufacture and display. The flag is to be displayed on state property during designated holidays and legislative sessions, while also allowing for its ceremonial display on other public properties.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific guidelines for the display of the historic state flag in relation to the official state flag. It states that the historic flag may be displayed on public property for ceremonial purposes, provided it is in good condition, and must be replaced by the official flag when not in use. Furthermore, when both flags are displayed together, the historic state flag must be positioned beneath the official flag. The provisions of this bill will take effect on May 11, 2026.
