An act relating to the creation of the State Flag Task Force
H.708 creates a State Flag Task Force to develop a new design for Vermont's state flag, which has remained unchanged since 1923. The task force, composed of 10 state officials including the Secretary of State and representatives from historical, cultural, and equity offices, will gather public input and submit a preliminary report by March 2027 and a final recommendation by December 2027. The recommendation may propose a new flag design and whether to seek voter approval through a 2028 election. The task force will dissolve on December 31, 2027, after completing its work.
