Creating the Washington state flag redesign committee.

HB 1938 establishes a 17-member Washington state flag redesign committee to develop a new state flag design reflecting the state's diversity and identity. The committee, including tribal representatives, cultural leaders, designers, and public members, must select a design by July 2028 for voter approval via referendum. It will gather public input through forums and surveys, review submissions for historical relevance and representation, and submit the chosen design to voters for adoption. The current flag, criticized for its complex George Washington portrait and outdated seal design, would be replaced if voters approve the new design. The committee’s work expires January 1, 2029.
