WASHINGTON: Today, Subcommittee on Modernization and Innovation Chairwoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) and Ranking Member Norma Torres (CA-35) announced that Modernization Initiatives Account (MIA) funding for FlagTrack 2.0, a modernization project to enhance the portal that streamlines the process of ordering and tracking flags for constituents, has been approved.

FlagTrack 2.0 improves and simplifies the user experience and offers faster turnaround times for constituent flag requests. A new, public-facing portal will allow constituents to easily track the status of their flag requests, from order date, to fly date, to shipping and delivery dates. FlagTrack 2.0 also digitizes check and refund forms for quicker processing and offers a new, direct shipping option in addition to the standard process of shipping flags through Member offices. Together, these upgrades will significantly improve an important constituent service by delivering better and faster results.

"FlagTrack 2.0 will make this process more seamless and transparent for all constituents," said Chairwoman Bice. "We are grateful to the Appropriations Committee for approving funding for this project." 

“I’m thrilled that we will be able to provide constituents and House staff with a simplified process to track flag requests, a process often connected to celebrations and meaningful ceremonies,” said Ranking Member Torres. "I look forward to making the transition in my office and bringing another House process into the 21st century.”

Background:
The MIA was established in the FY 2021 Appropriations Act to fund initiatives to modernize House operations. The Subcommittee requested MIA funding for this project on November 20, 2025.
