When to Fly your State's Flag

In addition, when you fly your state’s flag on the birthday of your state, as required by the July 7, 1976 amendment to the Flag Code (Public Law 94-344, 94th Congress) the American flag should always be flown above it in the superior position. A state's admission date to the united States of America is considered its birthday.
