According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "flags flown at state and local government buildings and eliminating a related administrative rule".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill establishes that only the U.S. flag, state flag, official POW/MIA flag recognized by Congress, and official flags of each branch of the U.S. armed forces are permitted to be flown, hung, or displayed from flagpoles or buildings owned or fully occupied by state agencies or political subdivisions, such as cities, villages, towns, or counties. Exceptions can be made by a three-fourths majority vote of the legislature or the governing body of the political subdivision. Additionally, it repeals an existing administrative rule that allowed the governor to make exceptions. The bill’s requirements applicable to state facilities and changes to the administrative rules are delayed until Jan. 1, 2027, although the bill takes effect the day after its publication.

In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
