Section 1. Findings and Purpose

(a) The General Assembly finds that a unique and representative flag is essential to symbolize the distinct identity, natural beauty, and aspirational spirit of the State of San Andreas.

(b) The General Assembly declares that the proposed flag design embodies the majestic landscape and bright future of our great state.

Section 2. Official State Flag.

(a) The flag described in subsection (b) of this section is hereby designated as the official State Flag of San Andreas.

(b) Description of the Official State Flag:

The official State Flag of San Andreas shall consist of a rectangular field divided into three primary horizontal sections and one prominent circular emblem.

(1) The uppermost section shall be a deep, rich blue, occupying approximately one-third of the flag's height, symbolizing the expansive skies and calm waters of the state.

(2) Centered within this blue field, slightly overlapping the middle section, shall be a vibrant golden yellow disc, representing the abundant sunshine, prosperity, and optimistic spirit of San Andreas.

(3) The middle section shall be composed of two prominent white triangular peaks, pointing upwards and positioned against the blue background. These peaks shall be joined at their base, forming an inverted "V" shape, with the point of the "V" extending downward to meet the lower section of the flag. These white peaks symbolize the snow-capped mountains and geographical grandeur of the state.

(4) The lowermost section shall be a bold, striking red, occupying approximately one-third of the flag's height, forming the base for the white triangular peaks. This red color represents the rich earth, the courage of its people, and the fiery sunsets that grace our landscapes.

(5) The overall design evokes a sense of natural beauty, with mountains rising under a golden sun against a blue sky, grounded in the vibrant land.

Section 3. Display of the State Flag.

The official State Flag shall be displayed in accordance with generally accepted flag etiquette and any regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State concerning its proper display.
