This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new article, designated as 46A-9-1, which mandates that all American flags sold at retail within the state must be manufactured in the United States. The legislation aims to ensure that consumers are purchasing flags that are made domestically, thereby supporting American manufacturing and promoting patriotism.

Specifically, the bill states that "No person in the business of offering goods at retail may sell or offer for sale in this state an American flag unless the flag was manufactured in the United States of America." This new requirement is intended to enhance consumer protection and uphold the integrity of the American flag by ensuring that it is produced in accordance with national standards.
