Idaho H0561 revises flag display rules for governmental entities, sets penalties, and outlines enforcement by the Attorney General.
Idaho H0561 amends existing law to specify which flags governmental entities can display, including the United States flag, state flags, military flags, and POW/MIA flags. It removes the ability to fly flags of recognized Indian tribes, foreign countries, and Idaho colleges or universities. The Attorney General must notify a governmental entity of a violation and allow 10 days to correct it before filing a civil action. If the Attorney General wins, the governmental entity must pay all legal fees. Non-compliant entities face a $2,000 penalty per flag per day.
