HB 1776 Oklahoma House · 2026 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 or local government entities from restricting the display of the U.S. or Oklahoma flag on government property. It specifically allows individuals to display these flags from their own vehicles or while holding them, provided the display follows proper standards without alterations or defacement. The law directly affects citizens and groups seeking to display these flags on public property, such as parks or government buildings. It does not create new government requirements but prevents existing restrictions on flag displays meeting these conditions. The bill includes an emergency clause to take effect immediately upon approval.
