Mast interpretation

The Office of the Governor of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services, notified covered persons and entities under the Illinois Flag Display Act of a half-staff order issued by Governor JB Pritzker.

The order honors and remembers Dolly Parton.

The source directs that the United States flags and the Illinois flags be lowered at all buildings occupied by agency personnel from sunrise on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, until sunset on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.

The scope described in the source is limited to all persons or entities covered by the Illinois Flag Display Act and to all buildings occupied by the agency’s personnel. The permanent flag honors page also states a separate standing order for Illinois Flag Display Act-covered entities when members of certain covered groups are killed in the line of duty, but the specific email notice here is for Dolly Parton.
