Require state agencies and political subdivisions to purchase flags made in the United States

LB 1081 requires all Nebraska state agencies and local governments (including cities, counties, school districts, and public power districts) to purchase only U.S.-made flags for public use starting January 1, 2027. The bill mandates that flags of the U.S. or Nebraska must be 100% manufactured in the United States, with an exception for small hand-held flags under 8 inches wide by 6 inches tall. It amends existing statutes to enforce this requirement and repeals prior sections that did not include this provision. This policy directly affects how local and state entities procure flags for official use, aiming to prioritize domestically produced goods.
