Bill > SF2832

This bill proposes to designate Ursa Minor, also known as the "Little Dipper," as the official state constellation of Minnesota. The bill would add a new statute to Minnesota's state government laws, specifically in chapter 1, creating a section numbered 1.1493 that officially recognizes Ursa Minor as a state symbol. Ursa Minor is a small constellation in the northern sky that contains the North Star (Polaris), which has historically been important for navigation. By making this designation, the Minnesota legislature is highlighting the astronomical and cultural significance of this constellation, potentially to celebrate the state's connection to astronomy, navigation, or celestial heritage. The bill is straightforward, simply adding the official recognition without creating any additional legal requirements or changing any existing statutes.
