Flags to Remain at Half-Staff Through Tuesday, June 11

This is a notice that all United States and Minnesota flags at all state buildings in Minnesota should remain at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, following the memorial service for Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell.

Governor Walz's original proclamation is linked here for reference.

Flags at Half-Staff

In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff.
