H0538

Idaho H0538 amends flag display rules for governmental entities, sets penalties, and assigns enforcement to the Attorney General.

Idaho H0538 revises the protocol for flags flown by governmental entities, including the state, counties, municipalities, and other political subdivisions. It removes certain flag display provisions, imposes a civil penalty of $2,000 per flag per day for non-compliance, and mandates the Attorney General to enforce these rules. The Attorney General must first advise the entity of the violation and allow 10 days to correct it before filing a civil action. The act declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage and approval.
