State Designations - Symbol of Remembrance for September 11 - Freedom Flag
HB 1103 designates the Freedom Flag, created by Richard Nicholas Melito, as Maryland's official symbol of remembrance for the September 11 attacks. The bill amends the Maryland Annotated Code to add a new section (7-320) formally recognizing this flag for commemorating the 2001 attacks. The designation takes effect on September 11, 2026, and serves as a symbolic state recognition without altering existing laws or programs.
