A bill to designate the eastern wild turkey as the official game bird of the state of Michigan.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to designate the eastern wild turkey (scientifically known as Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) as the official game bird of Michigan. The bill is straightforward, simply adding this specific species of wild turkey to the state's official symbols. The legislation would take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, which is a standard provision that allows time for government agencies and the public to be informed about the new designation. By choosing the eastern wild turkey, which is native to Michigan, the state is recognizing the cultural and ecological significance of this species, which is important to Michigan's wildlife and hunting traditions.
