Flags - As enacted, requires any flag flown over the state capitol building to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset in observance of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day each December 7. - Amends TCA Section 4-1-406.
HB 1463 requires Tennessee state flags flown over the Capitol building to be displayed at half-staff from sunrise to sunset every December 7, in observance of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. This bill amends Tennessee law (TCA Section 4-1-406) to establish this annual flag protocol for the state capitol. The measure directly affects the state government's flag display practices at the Capitol building. As a procedural flag etiquette requirement, it does not impose new obligations on citizens or businesses.
