Bill > SB1178

This bill proposes to add Section 425.17 to the Government Code, officially designating the California yellow jacket (Vespula sulphurea) as the state wasp. The bill highlights that this wasp is a unique species found only in California and nearby regions, known for its distinctive greenish-yellow markings and its role in the ecosystem as an opportunistic feeder. It also notes the historical connection of the yellow jacket as a mascot for several California high schools, providing context for its selection as a state emblem.
