AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend Chapter 2 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section that officially designates the Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) as the state's official frog. The Spring Peeper is a small tree frog known for its distinctive high-pitched peeping sound that is often heard in early spring, signaling the arrival of warmer weather.
