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 added to RSA 3 outlines the commission's formation and responsibilities, while the repeal indicates that the previous provisions regarding the commission will no longer be in effect. The bill aims to ensure that New Hampshire's state flag reflects its uniqueness among the states and adheres to established design principles.
