Gov. Kay Ivey ordered flags at the state capitol and at state offices to be flown at full-staff on Jan. 20, honoring the inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump.
Flags are currently flying at half-staff as the nation mourns the death of former President Jimmy Carter. President Joe Biden ordered flags remain lowered until Jan. 29, as is custom for when a former president passes away.
Ivey cited federal law in her decision, saying certain occasions allow flags be flown at full-staff.
Flags will return to half-staff on Jan. 21 for the rest of the mourning period.
