Star-Spangled Summit Act of 2026
Kyhv Peak: Flagpole Maintenance Permit
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Mr. Kennedy of Utah, would allow a flagpole to stay at Kyhv Peak in the Uinta National Forest. It requires the government to give a 10-year permit to a local person or group to take care of the American flag at that spot.
- The bill names a specific Provo resident as the first choice to manage the flagpole. If he doesn't want the job, other local volunteers or organizations can apply, as long as they have experience maintaining flags and live in the area.
- The person in charge of the flag won't have to pay the usual fees for using government land. The bill also skips the typical environmental studies usually required for projects on federal land to make the process faster and cheaper for the volunteers.
