CHAPTER 317
HOUSE BILL 424

AN ACT TO REQUIRE THAT FLAGPOLES BE ERECTED ON STATE PARKS, AND THAT FLAGS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BE DISPLAYED THEREON.

WHEREAS, it has been found that there are no flagpoles in any of the State parks of North Carolina, and that consequently no flags of the State of North Carolina or of the United States of America are being flown at the said State parks: Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1.  At each of the State parks of North Carolina an adequate flagpole shall be erected, in keeping with the construction of other structures thereupon, upon which flags of the United States of America and the State of North Carolina may be flown.
Sec. 2.  Where personnel are available upon the State parks, the flags of the United States and of the State of North Carolina shall be flown on every Saturday and Sunday and on every State holiday from May 1 to October 1 of each year, in conformity with appropriate National and State policy and procedures concerning the display of the State and Federal flag.
Sec. 3.  Flagpoles at the State parks may be donated by donors of the lands upon which State parks are situated, and if such donors express a desire to donate flagpoles, such donations shall be accepted in preference to that of any other individual or group. In the event that the donors of the lands upon which the State parks are situated shall not indicate a desire to donate flagpoles therefor within six (6) months of the date of the passage of this Act, donations for flagpoles shall be accepted from individuals or groups who may desire to make such donations and erect the said flagpoles in keeping with State park regulations.
Sec. 4.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 5.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of May, 1963.
