Enacts the "American made flag act" to require that American flags purchased for use by the state government be made in the United States
This bill requires all American flags purchased by the New York State government to be 100% made in the United States, using materials grown or produced domestically. It directly affects state agencies and departments that buy flags for official use, including those displayed at public buildings. The law mandates that flags meet strict "American-made" criteria for both manufacturing and materials, as defined in the State Finance Law. The requirement applies to all new flag purchases, effective 180 days after the bill becomes law.
