Nebraska public agencies would buy flags made in the United States

State agencies and local governments could not use public money to buy certain flags unless they meet the U.S.-made requirements. The rule would cover U.S. and Nebraska flags bought with public money by Nebraska state agencies and local governments, including school districts. The Capitol administrator and school governing bodies would follow it when acquiring flags under their duties. The flags must be made entirely in the United States from articles, materials, or supplies grown, produced, or manufactured there. The rule would not cover hand-held flags or flags smaller than eight inches wide and six inches high. The requirement would begin January 1, 2027.
