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 unless those flags are entirely manufactured in the United States. This includes stipulations that the materials used must also be sourced from within the country.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of supporting domestic manufacturing by ensuring that any flags purchased with public funds are made from materials that are either grown or produced in the United States. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
