HB 1317: Require Government Purchase of American-Made Flags

H.B. 1317, P.N. 1565 (CLYMER) This would create the Flag Procurement Act.
This would require all government agencies to purchases only flags which have a substantial majority of principal components assembled within the United States. An exception would be provided if the head of such an agency states in writing that such a purchase is inconsistent with the public interest or that the cost is unreasonable. A payment to a supplier in violation of this Act would be recoverable directly from such a supplier. A person who willfully violates this Act would be prohibited from participating in government contracts for five years.
