One Flag for All Act

This bill bans displaying any flag other than the U.S. flag on the exterior or in hallways of public buildings, including government offices, military installations, and embassies.

It directly affects how public buildings display flags, requiring exclusive use of the U.S. flag in designated areas. The bill applies to all public buildings under federal definition, with limited exceptions for historical, diplomatic, or local displays.
