The bill H. 3514 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 11-1-130, which prohibits state departments, agencies, institutions, and political subdivisions, including school districts, from using public funds to purchase flags of the United States or the State of South Carolina unless those flags are entirely manufactured in the United States. This includes stipulations that the flags must be made from materials that are either grown or produced within the country.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of supporting domestic manufacturing by ensuring that public funds are allocated only to flags that meet these strict criteria. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, reinforcing a commitment to American-made products in state-funded purchases.
