"House Bill 561 would fine offending buildings $2,000 per flag, per day for displaying disallowed banners and flags, including the Pride flag. The legislation is designed to close loopholes in previous laws restricting flag displays on government property."
"The bill specifies that flags permitted on public property include the US flag, state, city, or country flags, and flags of recognized Native American tribes. Other non-political, non-religious flags may also be displayed under certain conditions."
House Bill 561, passed by the Idaho Senate, allows the state to impose fines on cities for displaying prohibited flags, including the Pride flag. The bill enforces a previous law from 2025 that restricted flag displays on government property. Offending entities could face fines of $2,000 per flag, per day. The Idaho attorney general can enforce these violations, requiring prior warning to local governments. The bill aims to clarify which flags are permissible on public property, limiting them to specific national, state, and tribal flags.
