Latest Action · February 2, 2026
Referred to the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.
H.R. 6346 would lock in the Coast Guard's current policy on divisive and hate symbols by prohibiting the Commandant from issuing new guidance that is less restrictive than the existing November 2025 memorandum on the subject. The bill essentially prevents the Coast Guard leadership from relaxing rules around what symbols and flags are banned in the service. This legislation affects Coast Guard operations and personnel policies going forward. The bill contains no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond the existing policy memo it references. The measure was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
