Last year, Idaho enacted a ban on non-official flags flying over government buildings other than schools. Last May, Boise Mayor Lauren McLean proposed a resolution formalizing "which flags are considered the official flags of our city," leading the city council to adopt the rainbow banner as the city's official flag, so it would qualify under the law.

"The flags the city flies are an expression of our values and responsibilities, which include a commitment to equality, inclusion, and civic pride. This is our lawful expression of our dedication to ensuring all members of our community feel seen, respected, and welcome," the Boise City Council's then-president Colin Nash said at the time.

This week, however, Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little signed into law House Bill 561, which effectively invalidates Boise's stunt by requiring a qualifying city or county flag to have been "established prior to January 1, 2023." (The bill also makes other unrelated tweaks to the flag rules.)

"A governmental entity that fails to comply with the provisions of this section shall be subject to a civil penalty of two thousand dollars ($2,000) per flag for each day such flag is displayed," the new law also adds.
