HB 1776 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Definitions and general provisions; enacting the United States and Oklahoma Flag Display Rights Act of 2025; emergency.

HB 1776, the "United States and Oklahoma Flag Display Rights Act of 2025," prohibits state and local government entities from banning the display of the U.S. or Oklahoma flag on their property. It specifically allows individuals to display either flag from their vehicle (including motorcycles) or handheld, provided the flag is displayed respectfully, unaltered, and without defacement. The law applies to all government-owned or -occupied property, such as parks, buildings, or public spaces. It does not restrict how governments display flags themselves, only prevents them from prohibiting private displays under these conditions.
