A 5030 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Freedom Flag" as official State flag.

This bill designates the 'Freedom Flag' as the official state flag of New Jersey to honor victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and their aftermath. The legislation requires state agencies and officials to display this specific flag, which features a blue background with a white star, red stripes representing the Twin Towers and flights, and white bars symbolizing the Pentagon and first responders. By updating state statutes, the measure ensures the flag is used officially in anticipation of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
