HSB 634 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the display of flags at half-staff on public buildings.

This bill requires public building custodians and local government boards to fly U.S. and Iowa flags at half-staff when the governor issues a proclamation directing it. It directly affects public building managers and local government officials responsible for flag displays. The bill adds enforcement by allowing anyone to report violations to the attorney general, who can pursue legal action to ensure compliance. The law does not create new half-staff days but mandates adherence to existing gubernatorial proclamations.
