This bill establishes a commission to study the state flag of New Hampshire, focusing on its history and vexillological principles to assess whether a redesign is warranted. The commission will consist of various members, including three representatives from the House, one senator, and representatives from the New Hampshire Historical Society and the New England Vexillological Association. The commission is tasked with reviewing the flag's history, examining flag design principles, developing criteria for new designs, and holding public hearings on the submissions. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of RSA 3:2-a, which pertains to the commission's establishment, effective November 1, 2025. The new section establishing the commission is inserted into RSA 3, while the repeal indicates that the commission will no longer exist after the specified date. The bill aims to ensure that the state flag better represents New Hampshire's uniqueness among the states and adheres to good flag design principles.
