Bill > SB1286

This bill proposes to add Section 425.4 to the Government Code, officially designating the California sea lion as the state pinniped, which are fin- or flipper-footed marine mammals. The bill includes legislative findings that highlight the California sea lion's habitat along the coast from California to Mexico, its diet, and its recovery due to the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, expressing the intent that this recognition will help provide additional protections as the sea lion navigates a changing environment.
