The bill proposes the addition of a new section to South Dakota law that regulates the display of flags on public property. It specifies that only certain flags may be displayed, including the United States flag, the state flag, official military flags, flags of counties and municipalities, flags of other states, flags of recognized foreign nations not engaged in hostile action, and flags of Indian tribes. The bill mandates that any displayed flags must adhere to federal and state flag display protocols, with the United States flag taking precedence over all others when displayed together.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the display of flags that represent political viewpoints, such as 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.
