AI Summary
This bill proposes to designate the pea (scientifically known as Pisum sativum) as the official state vegetable of Minnesota. The legislation would officially recognize the pea in state statutes by creating a new section under chapter 1, which covers general governmental provisions. The bill includes two key provisions: first, it formally names the pea as the state vegetable, and second, it allows for a photograph of a pea to be displayed in the Office of the Secretary of State. This type of symbolic legislation, which establishes official state symbols, is relatively common and serves to highlight agricultural or cultural significance of specific items within a state.
