The bill introduced in the 136th General Assembly aims to enact a new section, 125.03, of the Revised Code, which prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from using public funds to purchase United States or Ohio flags that are not made in the United States. The bill defines "state agency" as any organized body or entity established by state law for government functions, and "political subdivision" as a county, township, municipal corporation, or other corporate body responsible for government activities in a smaller geographic area than the state.

The proposed legislation emphasizes the importance of supporting domestic manufacturing by ensuring that any flags purchased with public funds are made in the United States. This initiative reflects a commitment to promoting local industry and ensuring that state and local governments adhere to this standard in their procurement processes.
