Current Utah law restricts which flags can be displayed on government property, applying broadly to state agencies, local governments, and public schools, while only certain flags—like the U.S. flag, the Utah state flag, military flags, and a specific list of others—are allowed. This bill would narrow that restriction so it applies only to schools and school districts, meaning state agencies and local government offices would no longer be subject to the same flag display limits. It would also eliminate the state auditor's role in investigating complaints and issuing fines against non-school government entities for flag violations, since those entities would no longer be covered by the law. Public schools would remain subject to the existing rules limiting flag displays to the approved list, along with the law's existing legal protections for enforcement officials and provisions safeguarding student expression rights.
