Illinois has established a commission to examine whether the state will design and adopt a new flag. Here’s how the process would work.
Illinois’ current state flag has remained largely unchanged for more than a century, but Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker recently paved the way to a new banner for the Land of Lincoln.
It simply used the Great Seal of the State of Illinois, which pictures a bald eagle holding a banner that reads “State Sovereignty, National Union.” It was modeled after the Great Seal of the United States. She also cited the diverse makeup of the state, including a large metropolis like Chicago and communities both large and small that are an economic engine for the Midwest.
Senate Minority Leader John Curran and House Minority Leader Tony McCombie will appoint four members apiece.
