UNFURL Act of 2024
S 4623, the UNFURL Act of 2024, amends the U.S. Flag Code to allow the display of the U.S. flag horizontally or in varied sizes during military and patriotic observances involving the Armed Forces, provided the flag never touches the ground, floor, water, or merchandise. It also directs the Secretary of Defense to rescind a 2023 policy memo restricting flag displays and to support military recruitment through public events featuring flag displays. The bill directly affects military recruitment events, patriotic observances, and Department of Defense outreach activities. These changes clarify and expand permissible flag display practices at such events under existing legal standards.
