On 15 October 2003, a member's bill (written by Edward Płonek) was introduced to the Marshal on the amendments to the Act on the emblem, colours and anthem of the Polish Republic which established National Polish Flag Day.
According to the justification of the law introducing the holiday, the choice of 2 May was not accidental - it was supposed to be the day when Poles had a moment of reflection on Polish history, to fill in the free day between two national holidays, and to underline  celebration of the Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad.

In the course of legislative work, the Senate of the Republic of Poland, in its Resolution of 12 February 2004, proposed amendments such as: replacing Polish National Flag Day with the Day of the White Eagle, recognizing the emblem as the chief among the symbols of the Republic of Poland.
Eventually, the Sejm rejected the amendment and, on 20 February 2004, established National Flag Day of the Republic of Poland.
