Bill > SB334

This bill designates the monarch butterfly as Wisconsin's official state butterfly by creating a new provision in state statutes. Specifically, the legislation adds a clause to section 1.10 (3) explicitly stating "The monarch butterfly is the state butterfly" and amends section 1.10 (4) to require the Wisconsin Blue Book (an official state publication) to include information about the monarch butterfly alongside other state symbols. This change means the Blue Book will now list the monarch butterfly alongside existing state symbols like the state bird, fish, tree, and other designated items. The monarch butterfly, known for its distinctive orange and black wings and its important role in pollination, will join the list of official state symbols, which serves to celebrate and recognize the natural heritage and biodiversity of Wisconsin.
