GovInfo's introduced text shows Rep. Barry Loudermilk submitted H. Res. 1314 on May 21, 2026, and the resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The resolved clause would recognize the America 250 flag as an official U.S. flag and authorize it to be flown alongside the U.S. and POW/MIA flags over government buildings, embassies, and official U.S. locations worldwide.

The House Rules Committee page for H.R. 8800 lists Loudermilk amendment 1382, version 2, as a late revised amendment to designate the Betsy Ross America 250 Flag as an official flag eligible to be flown and displayed from all U.S. federal government buildings, installations, and military bases at home and abroad for the remainder of 2026; its status is listed as Revised, not Made in Order or Agreed To.
Assessments
Loudermilk introduced H.Res. 1314 in May 2026 and later offered an NDAA amendment to make the America 250 flag eligible to fly on federal buildings alongside the U.S. and POW/MIA flags. Those are serious same-term legislative efforts that closely match the promise. But the available record shows referral/revised amendment status only, with no House passage, enactment, or implemented federal policy allowing the flag on all federal buildings. Separate GSA patriotic displays do not fully satisfy the promised legal authorization and are not shown to be chiefly attributable to Loudermilk.
The evidence shows Loudermilk introduced and publicly promoted H.Res. 1314, the America 250 Commemorative Flag Act, in May 2026. That is a concrete legislative effort directly aligned with the promise. However, the record provided does not show enactment, implementation, or that federal buildings were actually authorized to fly the America 250 commemorative flag alongside the U.S. and POW/MIA flags. Because there is clear action but no demonstrated completed policy outcome, the promise is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
