HB1615

COURTHOUSE FLAG

Complete·8/15/25

HB1615 amends the Flag Display Act to allow the U.S. national flag to be displayed on courthouse grounds in Illinois.

HB1615 modifies the Flag Display Act to permit the U.S. national flag to be displayed on the grounds of a courthouse, not just on the top of the courthouse. This change allows for more flexible flag placement while maintaining the requirement for the flag to be unfurled and kept floating. The bill also reaffirms the duty of county boards to provide flags and the sheriff's responsibility to ensure their display.
