Legislators OK putting Illinois on path toward a new state flag
Thank you for supporting our journalism. This article is available exclusively for our subscribers, who help fund our work at the Chicago Tribune.Illinois could be on a path toward getting a new state flag after lawmakers sent Gov. J.B. Pritzker a bill that would establish a commission to decide if the emblem needs a makeover and, if so, what it should look like.
The current state flag features a bald eagle with the state motto in its mouth standing on a rock bearing the year of the seal’s creation and of the state’s incorporation. It’s almost a carbon copy of the state seal. A similar process for a new state flag was conducted in Utah, which wound up changing its flag to pay homage to its nickname, “The Beehive State.”
