H288

POW/MIA Flag/State Bldgs. & Schools

Chamber Passed·4/30/25

North Carolina H288 mandates POW/MIA flag display at state-owned buildings and public schools if a flagpole is present.

North Carolina H288 requires the official "Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA)" flag to be displayed and flown over all state-owned buildings and at all public school buildings whenever the United States flag is displayed, provided the POW/MIA flag can be attached to an existing flagpole. The flag must be of suitable size and material and follow the appropriate policies and procedures for displaying state and U.S. flags. This requirement does not apply to the POW/MIA flag flown over the State Capitol, which is governed by a separate statute.
