Illinois bill promotes flag design submission for diverse representation and potential adoption.

Illinois residents can submit flag designs starting September 3, as a new bill aims to replace the current flag with one that better represents the state's diverse communities and promotes pride. The Illinois Flag Commission will choose 10 designs for public voting in January, and if approved by the Illinois General Assembly, a new flag may be adopted. This initiative follows similar efforts in other states like Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine.
