Senate Bill 2,003, which extends the deadline for adopting a new state flag and designates the existing flag to become the governor's flag on Oct. 1, 2022, passed the Senate and will be transmitted to the House.
Senator McVay (identified in the transcript as McKay/McVay) said the bill "extends the deadline for the existing state flag" and creates a public kickoff early in the legislative session to solicit input on a new flag. He said the bill "takes the existing state flag and makes it the governor's flag as of 10/01/2022," and that the Legislature would still need to adopt any new flag after the public process.
Senators asked for clarification that designating the current flag as the governor's flag presumes a separate future adoption process; the sponsor confirmed the Legislature would still need to act to adopt a replacement state flag. After brief discussion, the Senate passed SB 2003 under suspension of the rules and sent it to the House for consideration.
