One Flag for All Act

H.R. 1313, the One Flag for All Act, would prohibit the flying, draping, or display of any flag other than the United States flag at public buildings and in public-accessible areas such as entryways and hallways. The bill would establish a unified standard for flag displays at federal facilities to emphasize the prominence of the national flag. The legislation includes specific exceptions for certain flags, including POW/MIA flags, Hostage and Wrongful Detainee flags, flags of visiting diplomats, state flags in Members of Congress offices, military unit flags, historically significant flags such as the Betsy Ross flag and Gadsden flag, public safety flags, and flags commemorating national observances. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to multiple House committees including Transportation and Infrastructure, Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and House Administration, and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
