Memorializes Congress to propose constitutional amendment prohibiting the physical desecration of American flag.
New Jersey's SCR 73 is a procedural resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment. It seeks to amend the U.S. Constitution to grant Congress and states the authority to prohibit physical desecration of the American flag. The resolution does not create new law but requests Congress to initiate this constitutional change, citing the flag's historical significance and previous congressional efforts. It directly addresses Congress as the target of the memorial and could affect how states enforce flag protection laws if the amendment is adopted.
