State: symbol; Honor and Remember flag; designate as the official state symbol of remembrance of fallen military members. Creates new act.
HB 5283 designates the Honor and Remember flag as Michigan's official symbol for honoring fallen U.S. military members who died in service. The bill requires all state properties (including the capitol and government buildings) and local government sites to display this flag wherever the U.S. flag is shown. It mandates specific display days, such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and days of half-staff for fallen service members, as ordered by the governor. The bill does not create new funding or alter existing military benefits - it solely establishes a symbolic recognition protocol for state and local government properties.
