New Flags in the NYC Parks

City Laws P.O.W./M.I.A. Flags (INTRO 52-A) Introduced: 2003 Passed City Council: May 14, 2003 Passed Mayor: May 23, 2003 This law requires the Parks Department to fly a black Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag in 800 public places. Because of the city's fiscal crisis, the council is giving the Parks Department three years to implement the plan. The POW/MIA flags will cost the city $10,000 in the first year, and the council is asking flag manufacturers for donations.
