To enact section 5.014 of the Revised Code to | 1 |
establish a recommended procedure for folding the | 2 |
state flag. | 3 |
Section 1. That section 5.014 of the Revised Code be enacted | 4 |
to read as follows: | 5 |
Sec. 5.014. The general assembly hereby establishes a | 6 |
recommended procedure for the folding of the state flag by two | 7 |
people. The procedure is as follows: | 8 |
With the flag unfolded, fold the flag in half lengthwise so | 9 |
that the points of the flag are aligned. Fold the flag in half | 10 |
lengthwise a second time to form a long strip with the red disc | 11 |
facing the ground. Next, fold the pointed end back onto itself to | 12 |
form a rectangle. These steps entail three folds. | 13 |
Starting on the end formed by the fold of the pointed end | 14 |
back onto itself, fold two inches of the flag onto itself for a | 15 |
flag with a three-foot hoist and a five-foot fly, or another | 16 |
appropriate width of fold for a flag of a different size. Repeat | 17 |
the folds a total of fourteen times, alternating the folds in a | 18 |
fan-like manner. | 19 |
The result is a total of seventeen folds symbolizing that | 20 |
Ohio was the seventeenth state admitted to the union. Finally, | 21 |
neatly and snugly wrap the remaining length of flag around the | 22 |
fan-folds to form a compact rectangle. | 23 |
