STATE FLAG - S.B. 181: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 181 (as introduced 2-8-01)
Sponsor: Senator Philip E. Hoffman
Committee: Government Operations
Date Completed: 5-29-01
CONTENT
The bill would amend Public Act 209 of 1911, which prescribes the design of the State flag and the State coat-of-arms, to provide that on the State flag the word "Michigan" would have to be placed above the coat-of-arms, and "1837" would have to be placed below the coat-of-arms.
MCL 2.23 - Legislative Analyst: G. Towne
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of hiring a designer to recreate the State flag with the new guidelines would be the primary cost of this bill and would depend on the services provided. State flags are currently purchased regularly for display in and around State buildings and offices and this cost would remain unchanged.
