AN ACT relating to allowing the Freedom Flag to be flown as a Flag of Remembrance each September 11, which is known as Patriot Day.
HB 269 allows Kentucky state entities to fly the "Freedom Flag" alongside the U.S. and Kentucky state flags on September 11 (Patriot Day), as specified in federal law. The bill directly affects Kentucky government buildings and officials who display flags on this day. It specifies the flag's design: a blue background with a white star (representing unity and those who died for freedom), five white bars (symbolizing the Pentagon), and outer stripes representing rescue workers, the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Flight 93. The flag was designated by Virginia in 2018 as its official remembrance flag for September 11.
