The Good Friday Act of 2026 would require the American flag to be flown at half-staff on the first Friday and Saturday following the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox each year. This amendment to federal flag code would add these two days to the existing list of occasions when flags are displayed at half-staff, which currently includes holidays like Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day. The bill affects all federal buildings and institutions required to follow flag display protocols. There is no funding or specific implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation, as this is primarily a procedural change to existing flag display rules. The bill was introduced in March 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
