Old Glory Only Act

# Old Glory Only Act (HR 465) Summary **What It Would Do** This bill would require that only the U.S. flag be flown above U.S. diplomatic and consular posts (embassies, consulates, and similar government facilities abroad). Currently, these locations sometimes display other flags alongside the American flag, such as state flags or organizational flags. If passed, this legislation would eliminate that practice and mandate the U.S.

flag as the sole flag displayed at these government buildings. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects the State Department and other federal agencies that oversee diplomatic facilities worldwide. It has minimal direct impact on the general public, though it could affect diplomatic protocols and symbolism at U.S. facilities abroad. Currently, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been assigned to a congressional committee for review and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
