Bill imposing fines for flying Pride flag heads to House
House Bill 561 represents a revised a version of House Bill 96, which passed during the previous session and significantly limited the flags that could be flown by state and local governments. A notable exception for "official" city and county flags prompted the city of Boise to take action in the spring of last year to be in compliance with the bill.
