Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

All-American Flag ActThis bill prohibits agencies from using funds to procure a U.S. flag unless such flag has been manufactured in the United States from materials that have been U.S. grown, produced, or manufactured. The bill specifies exceptions to this prohibition, including an exception if flags of satisfactory quality and sufficient quantity cannot be procured as needed at market prices.Each manufacturer of a U.S. flag shall maintain records related to such flags marketed by the manufacturer for a five-year period demonstrating that articles, materials, and supplies used for the flags have been grown or 100% produced or manufactured in the United States.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Prohibits government agencies from buying U.S. flags unless they are manufactured in the U.S. from U.S.-grown or U.S.-produced materials
Allows exceptions if flags of satisfactory quality and quantity cannot be procured at market prices
Requires flag manufacturers to maintain 5-year records proving their materials are U.S.-made

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would impact U.S. government agencies that purchase U.S. flags, as well as American flag manufacturers. It would support domestic manufacturing and U.S. jobs in the flag production industry, but could also increase costs for government flag purchases if U.S.-made flags are more expensive.
