State Admission Day Recognition Act of 2006

H.R. 5419, the State Admission Day Recognition Act of 2006, would require the Architect of the Capitol to fly a state’s flag over the U.S. Capitol building every year on the anniversary of that state’s admission to the Union. Under this proposal, the first flag flown would be the California state flag on September 9 following the bill's enactment, which would then be presented to the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West. For citizens, this legislation establishes a recurring national tradition to honor the history and individual entry of each state into the United States.
