HF 2026 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the display of flags on public schools and state-owned buildings.

HF 2026 requires custodians of public schools and state-owned buildings in Iowa to display only three flags: the U.S. flag, the Iowa state flag, and the flag of the National League of POW/MIA Families. It mandates raising these flags on favorable days for secular occasions and explicitly prohibits displaying other flags on public buildings or their grounds. The bill directly affects building custodians and school administrators responsible for flag displays. This is a policy change limiting flag displays to these specific flags, with no mention of additional flags being permitted.
