Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
H.R. 6680 would prohibit offices of the legislative branch, such as individual Congressional offices and committees, from using Federal funds to buy or display flags and pennants other than the U.S. flag, state and territorial flags, and the POW-MIA flag. The bill includes exceptions for flags representing Federal departments and agencies as well as the armed forces. The restriction would apply to all Federal spending in the legislative branch starting in fiscal year 2024 and continuing in all future fiscal years. No specific funding amounts are allocated since this is a prohibition rather than an appropriation measure. The bill was introduced in December 2023 by four House members and referred to the Committee on House Administration.
