Bill > SB829

This bill officially designates three distinct symbols for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the *Hynerpeton bassetti* (an extinct, four-limbed vertebrate and early land animal discovered exclusively at a Pennsylvania fossil site) as the official State fossil, the eastern box turtle (*Terrapene carolina carolina*) as the official State reptile to help promote its conservation as an at-risk species, and Hershey's Kisses as the official State candy in recognition of the chocolate's deep economic, historical, and manufacturing roots tied to Milton Hershey and the Hershey Company within the state. Additionally, the legislation repeals an older, unrelated state law and takes effect immediately upon passage.
