The bill aims to regulate the display of flags on public property in South Dakota by establishing a new section in chapter 1-6. It specifies that only certain flags may be displayed, including the United States flag, the state flag, official military flags, flags of local governmental entities, flags of other states, flags of recognized foreign nations not engaged in hostilities with the U.S., and flags of Indian tribes. Additionally, it mandates that any displayed flags must adhere to federal and state flag display protocols, with the U.S. flag taking precedence over others.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits the display of flags that represent political viewpoints, including those related to gender, political ideology or party, race, or sexual orientation, on public property. It allows for exceptions for educational displays approved by relevant state boards or agencies and temporary displays authorized by the Governor for ceremonial purposes.
