SB 703 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State: symbol; Honor and Remember flag; designate as the official state symbol of remembrance of fallen military members. Creates new act.

SB 703 designates the "Honor and Remember flag" as Michigan's official symbol of remembrance for military members who died in service. It requires the flag to be displayed alongside the U.S. flag at all Michigan state capitol buildings, state properties, and local government facilities. The bill mandates flying the flag on specific military observance days, including Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and days when flags are flown at half-staff for fallen service members. This policy change directly affects state and local government operations regarding flag display protocols. The bill does not alter existing military benefits or funding but establishes a new official symbol for remembrance.
