Governor Little signed HB 561 into law, which prohibits state and local government agencies from flying any flags other than the US, Idaho, or City flags. This follows a public fight last year between legislators, the City of Boise, and Attorney General Labrador over removing Pride flags from City Hall. The bill further clarifies what flags may be flown by government institutions and provides for financial penalties for violations. Mayor McLean responded by removing the Pride flag, stating that Boise's values have not changed and that love does not require permission from the state.
