The "Good Friday Act of 2026" proposes an amendment to title 4 of the United States Code , which governs the display of the U.S. flag. Its primary purpose is to establish a new requirement for the flag to be flown at half-staff on two specific days each year. Specifically, the bill mandates this display on the first Friday and Saturday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox . This timing corresponds to the traditional calculation of Good Friday and Holy Saturday, thereby introducing a new, religiously-aligned occasion for national mourning or remembrance through flag display. The amendment would insert this requirement into Section 7(m) of title 4, United States Code, alongside existing provisions for flag display.
