Federal Agencies Must Buy and Display Only 100% US-Made Flags

This law mandates that all US flags purchased and displayed by federal government agencies must be 100% manufactured in the United States, using 100% US-produced materials. The goal is to support domestic manufacturing and ensure national symbols are sourced locally. These rules apply only to government spending and property, not to private citizens or businesses.
Key points
Federal agencies (including the military and Congress) are required to purchase and display only flags that are entirely made in the United States.
The 'Made in the United States' requirement means both the manufacturing process and all materials used must be 100% US-sourced.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) must conduct a study on the enforcement of country-of-origin labeling rules for flags and recommend improvements.
