VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO AMEND CHAPTER 1, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE, RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT, TO REQUIRE THAT UNITED STATES FLAGS AND SOUTH CAROLINA FLAGS PURCHASED WITH STATE FUNDS MUST BE MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES.
Whereas it is only fitting that the State of South Carolina should purchase the most honored symbols of our Nation and our State from American businesses; and
Whereas the production of flags provides jobs and family incomes for residents of our State and other states; and
Whereas all government agencies should, at all times, aid and promote the development of American manufacturers. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Title 1 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
Section 1-1-1710. Any flag of the United States, or flag of the State of South Carolina purchased with State funds shall be manufactured in the United States."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
