AN ACT relating to allowing the Freedom Flag to be flown as a Flag of Remembrance each September 11, which is known as Patriot Day.
HB 573 allows Kentucky government entities to fly the "Freedom Flag" (a flag designated by Virginia in 2018) alongside the U.S. and Kentucky state flags on September 11 each year, designated as Patriot Day. The bill directly affects state buildings, schools, and government offices that display flags on this date. It specifies that the Freedom Flag may be flown as a "Flag of Remembrance" for the September 11 attacks, without altering existing flag display practices or creating new obligations.
