Tennessee SB0266 prohibits governmental entities, municipalities, and counties from displaying any flags other than the U.S. flag and the official state flag on public courthouses, roadways, or sidewalks, with provisions for civil action by citizens to enforce this restriction. In public schools, the bill limits flag displays to specific flags, including the U.S. flag, state flag, and several others, while allowing parents or guardians to file actions against schools for violations after providing notice. Additionally, the bill revises the display regulations for the POW/MIA flag, allowing it to be displayed at county administrative buildings that are not courthouses.
