S 1379 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Establishes the prohibition against requiring a permit for the singing of the national anthem or the reciting of the pledge of allegiance

This bill would prevent cities from requiring permits to sing the national anthem or recite the Pledge of Allegiance. It directly affects local governments by amending general city laws to ban any sanctions or penalties against individuals or groups performing these patriotic acts on public or private land. The measure ensures that no permit is needed specifically for these activities, regardless of whether the event is part of a larger performance that might otherwise require approval.
