What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Don Young American Grown Act,'' focuses on the display of decorative plants in specific government locations. It prohibits the official display of cut flowers or cut greens in public areas of the Executive Office of the President, the Department of State, or the Department of Defense unless they are produced in the United States. The term "produced in the United States" includes items grown in any state, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, or areas under the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian Tribe. This restriction does not apply to flowers or greens used by Federal officers or employees for personal display. The Act is set to take effect one year after it is enacted.
