Display of state flag.
This bill, SF 11, directs the Wyoming State Historian to deliver one original Wyoming state flag to the heirs of Mrs. Verna Keyes, who designed the state flag in 1917. It corrects a historical oversight by fulfilling her request that the flag remain in her family's possession, with the condition it may only be publicly displayed if donated to a Wyoming government building. The bill amends a 1945 law to formalize this transfer and requires the Historian to provide a copy of the act to the heirs. It became effective July 1, 2022, and has no broader policy impact beyond this specific flag delivery.
