AI Summary

  • Requires state agencies and public schools to display the POW/MIA flag outdoors every day the U.S. flag is displayed, expanding the current requirement from only National POW/MIA Recognition Day

  • Codifies a 1991 Delaware law (Senate Bill No. 87) into Title 29, § 408 of the Delaware Code, as the original legislation was never formally incorporated into the Code

  • Repeals the original 1991 law provisions that limited POW/MIA flag display to state-owned buildings where flags were available free of charge

  • Removes the previous restriction that applied only to buildings equipped with flagpoles

  • Aligns Delaware law with federal requirements recognizing the POW/MIA flag as a symbol of commitment to resolving the fates of missing American service members
