This bill establishes the recognition and standards for the display of the historic state flag of Minnesota. It includes a detailed description of the flag's design, which features a bronze eagle, a blue background, and a circular emblem with various elements including the word "MINNESOTA" and 19 stars. The bill asserts the right of all citizens 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, as long as the flag remains serviceable. It specifies that when the historic state flag is not in use, the official state flag must be displayed instead. Furthermore, when both flags are present, the historic state flag must be positioned beneath the official flag. The new legal language introduced in this bill will take effect on May 11, 2026.
