Prohibition of Non-US Flags in Public Buildings

This new bill aims to restrict the display of flags other than the United States flag in public buildings. This means that in most publicly accessible areas, only the US flag will be visible, with a few important exceptions. The goal is to emphasize national unity.
Key points
Only the United States flag may be displayed on the exterior or in public areas of covered public buildings, such as government offices, courts, or military facilities.
Exceptions include flags for POW/MIA, Hostage and Wrongful Detainee, military units, historical US flags, state flags in Member offices, Native American tribal flags, and local jurisdiction flags.
The prohibition applies to flags displayed both outside and inside public buildings in areas accessible to the public, like entryways or hallways.
