The bill, H.B. No. 3990, introduces Chapter 2207 to the Government Code, which establishes regulations regarding the display of flags at buildings owned or operated by the state, municipalities, or counties. It specifies that these buildings are only permitted to display the United States flag, the state flag, or the official flag of the respective municipality or county. Additionally, any flags displayed must be the official versions in their official colors and cannot be altered.
The new chapter defines "display" as the act of exhibiting or placing an object where it can be seen by individuals visiting or working at the building. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that all relevant entities comply with these flag display regulations.
