Code § 5.014","heading":"Procedure for folding state flag.","body":"The general assembly hereby establishes a recommended procedure for the folding of the state flag by two people. The procedure is as follows:\nWith the flag unfolded, fold the flag in half lengthwise so that the points of the flag are aligned. Fold the flag in half lengthwise a second time to form a long strip with the red disc facing the ground. Next, fold the pointed end back onto itself to form a rectangle. These steps entail three folds.\nStarting on the end formed by the fold of the pointed end back onto itself, fold two inches of the flag onto itself for a flag with a three-foot hoist and a five-foot fly, or another appropriate width of fold for a flag of a different size. Repeat the folds a total of fourteen times, alternating the folds in a fan-like manner.\nThe result is a total of seventeen folds symbolizing that Ohio was the seventeenth state admitted to the union. Finally, neatly and snugly wrap the remaining length of flag around the fan-folds to form a compact rectangle.","path":["General Provisions","Chapter 5 State Insignia; Seals; Holidays"],"source_url":"https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-5.014","current_through":"2005-05-18 (House Bill 552 - 125th General Assembly)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T19:24:24Z","sha256":"074649ae7d6e13218c827d8cf0f9307ddbeefbbcf837c0c9c11527fc87702c1a","source_id":"us-oh","stale":false,"prev":"us-oh/ohio-rev.-code-5.013","next":"us-oh/ohio-rev.-code-5.015"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
