Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday June 14, 2012 signed legislation requiring that the state buy American when it comes to flags - and give homeowners and builders more time for their wetland and other permit requests to be processed.
American and Michigan flags flown at state buildings will have to be made in the United States under one bill, sponsored by Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Township.
According to an analysis from the Senate Fiscal Agency, surveyed state agencies already report that the flags they buy are made in the U.S. But the new provision puts requirements for flag purchase into state law so they cannot be changed without further action by the Legislature.
Flags currently bought by the state range in price from $13.95 to $65.98, depending on the size.
The measure does not apply to local governments or schools.
