New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Wednesday signed a bill into law banning the sale or display of Confederate battle flags on state property.
The bill also banned other “symbols of hate,” including swastikas and other known insignias historically associated with racism and other violent acts against targeted religious or ethnic groups, a local NBC affiliate reported.
Public display of such symbols will only be permitted if proper educational or historical purposes can be provided. The law will go into effect immediately.
