SCS SB 918 -- DISPLAY OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG

SPONSOR:  Klarich (Linton)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government and Related Matters by a vote of 16 to 0.

This substitute excludes a properly displayed United States flag
from regulation by the state or any city or village ordinance.  A
properly displayed flag is one that contains no additional design
or embellishment and is displayed consistent with federal law,
pursuant to the normally accepted guidelines for the display of
the flag.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that some cities are trying to
regulate how the United States flag is displayed.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Klarich.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
