SR 121 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to the Killed in Action flag.

California Senate Resolution 121 formally recognizes the Killed in Action flag as a symbol honoring military personnel who died in combat. The resolution encourages the voluntary display of this flag at state and local public buildings, schools, and private homes to express remembrance for fallen service members. It also suggests that Californians display the flag during specific observances such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day. Finally, the bill directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to the Governor, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and various veterans' service organizations.

MODERATE

The changes between the introduced and enrolled versions of SR 121 are entirely formatting and procedural in nature. The substantive text of the resolution - all WHEREAS clauses and RESOLVED clauses recognizing the Killed in Action flag - is unchanged. The enrolled version removes line numbers, drops coauthor names, adds a formal session header, and includes the adoption date (August 10, 2026) and Secretary of the Senate attestation.

TECHNICAL
