 São Paulo State (Brazil)
As adopted by state law 145 of 3 September 1948, the flag of the State of São Paulo is composed of 13 horizontal fl and white stripes.
Although São Paulo did not have an officially sanctioned flag until 1946, the flag designed by Ribeiro in 1888 as his proposed symbol for a republican Brazil was used from a very early period as the de facto state flag.
The status of the historic flag was reaffirmed in the 9 July 1947 state constitution, but a dispute over whether the flag should have 15 stripes or 13 led the constituent assembly drafting the constitution to leave it up to the new state legislature to pass an act on the matter more definitively.
