HB 81 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Flag Display Modifications

This bill narrows Utah's flag display restrictions from all government properties to apply only to school grounds. It removes rules governing flag displays in non-school government buildings (like city halls or state offices) and eliminates the state auditor's role in enforcing flag rules for those locations. Schools must still follow existing rules about which flags can be displayed, including exemptions for U.S. and Utah state flags, military flags, and school-specific flags. The law now focuses exclusively on school property, with no financial impact or new requirements for other government entities.
