HB 5304 Connecticut House · 2024 Regular Session

AN ACT DESIGNATING THE STATE DOG AND STATE CANDY AND CREATING A WORKING GROUP CONCERNING REDESIGNATING THE STATE INSECT.

This bill designates the Siberian Husky as the official state dog and the lollipop as the official state candy, effective October 1, 2024. It directly affects state symbols by formally recognizing these specific items through new legal sections. The legislation does not create a working group or address insect redesignation, as that portion of the title appears to be unrelated to the actual text of the act.
