relative to the authorized display of flags on state house grounds.

The bill title and header were changed from 'AS AMENDED BY THE SENATE' to 'VERSION ADOPTED BY BOTH BODIES,' reflecting that the bill passed final approval in both chambers. This is a status designation change only, with no effect on the bill's content or policy.

The requirement that only federally recognized flags may be displayed was narrowed from applying to all of 'state house grounds' (the entire property) to only flags flown 'over the state house' (the building itself). This means non-federally-recognized flags could potentially still be displayed on the grounds as long as they are not flown over the building.

The bill's title and purpose changed from recognizing the Honor and Remember Flag as a state symbol of remembrance to limiting authorized flag displays on state house grounds.

A new section (RSA 3:4-a, II) was added restricting state house grounds flag displays to only those flags officially recognized by the US federal government, defined as flags established by federal law, executive order, or an official agency regulation.

Changed from a mandatory requirement ('the governor shall order') to a permissive option ('the governor may choose to honor Gold Star families by ordering') for displaying the flag.

The specific flag referenced changed from the 'Honor and Remember Flag, created by the national organization Honor and Remember Inc.' to the 'Gold Star Flag' without reference to a creating organization.

Added a requirement that the Gold Star Flag, if displayed, shall be provided at no cost to the state of New Hampshire.
