Ohio § 5.014
Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 5.014, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5.014.
The general assembly hereby establishes a recommended procedure for the folding of
the state flag by two people. The procedure is as follows: With the flag unfolded, fold the flag in half lengthwise so that the points of the
flag are aligned. Fold the flag in half lengthwise a second time to form a long strip with the red
disc facing the ground. Next, fold the pointed end back onto itself to form a rectangle. These steps entail three folds. Starting on the end formed by the fold of the pointed end back onto itself, fold two
inches of the flag onto itself for a flag with a three-foot hoist and a five-foot
fly, or another appropriate width of fold for a flag of a different size. Repeat the folds a total of fourteen times, alternating the folds in a fan-like
manner. The result is a total of seventeen folds symbolizing that Ohio was the seventeenth
state admitted to the union. Finally, neatly and snugly wrap the remaining length of flag around the fan-folds
to form a compact rectangle.
