One Flag for All Act

S. 576 would establish a federal policy restricting flag displays at government buildings and military facilities. The bill would prohibit flying, draping, or displaying any flag other than the United States flag on the exterior of federal buildings or in public-facing areas, with limited exceptions. Permitted flags would include the POW/MIA flag, flags of visiting diplomats, state flags in congressional offices, military unit flags, historical American flags, tribal flags, and flags representing local jurisdictions or federal agencies. The bill would apply to government buildings, military installations, embassies, and consulates. If enacted, the legislation would standardize flag displays across federal properties and establish penalties for violations, though specific enforcement mechanisms would be detailed in the bill's full text. The bill is currently in the Senate Judiciary Committee and would require passage by both chambers and presidential signature to become law.
