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 defines "display" as the act of exhibiting or placing an object where it is visible to individuals visiting or working at the building. The chapter stipulates that these buildings are prohibited from displaying any flags other than the United States flag, the state flag, or the official flag of the respective municipality or county.
Additionally, the bill mandates that any United States or state flag displayed must be the official flag in its official colors and cannot be altered in any way. This legislation aims to standardize flag displays at government buildings and ensure that only recognized flags are shown. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
