华盛顿州正在考虑一项关于重新设计其国旗的法案。 Washington State is considering a bill to redesign its state flag. 1938年众议院法案将设立一个委员会来监督这一进程,包括公众投入,并在2028年7月之前选择新的设计,然后需要选民批准。 House Bill 1938 would create a committee to oversee the process, including public input, and select a new design by July 2028, which would then need voter approval. 批评者认为,鉴于国家预算问题,提案是低优先,重新设计费用可能高达230万美元。 Critics argue the proposal is a low priority given the state's budget issues, and the redesign could cost up to $2.3 million. 以绿色背景和乔治·华盛顿肖像为特色的当前国旗在国旗中排名很低。 The current flag, featuring a green background and George Washington's portrait, is ranked poorly among state flags.
