Plain-language change summary

The revised version of HB 2113 adds a few specific exceptions to the prohibition on displaying flags on public property in Arizona. Notably, it now explicitly allows flags for first responders, Blue Star Service Flags, Gold Star Service Flags, and historic versions of the American flag. This change is important as it recognizes and honors various groups and their contributions, ensuring that their flags can be displayed publicly without restriction.
