(1)The official state flag of the Commonwealth of Kentucky shall be of navy blue silk,
nylon, wool or cotton bunting, or some other suitable material, with the seal of the
Commonwealth encircled by a wreath, the lower half of which shall be goldenrod in
bloom and the upper half the words "Commonwealth of Kentucky," embroidered,
printed, painted, or stamped on the center thereof. The dimensions of the flag may
vary, but the length shall be one and nine-tenths (1 9/10) times the width and the
diameter of the seal and encirclement shall be approximately two-thirds (2/3) the
width of the flag.
(2)The approved official drawings of the state flag shall be permanently retained in the
files of the office of the Secretary of State. All state flags for official use of the
Commonwealth shall conform as to color and design with these official drawings.
(3)The emblem at the head of a flagstaff used to display the flag of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky shall be the Kentucky cardinal in an alert but restful pose, cast in
bronze, brass, or other suitable material.
(4)The flying of the state flag at all state buildings and installations including public
school buildings, National Guard armories, state parks, and other such buildings is
considered proper and is encouraged.
(5)No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. With
the exception of the flag of the United States of America, the flag of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky should not be dipped to any person or thing. The flag
should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or
merchandise. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting
emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
(6)All official flags of the Commonwealth of Kentucky purchased by a public
institution shall be manufactured in the United States.
