AN ACT DESIGNATING THE SPRING PEEPER AS THE STATE AMPHIBIAN.
HB 5159 designates the spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) as the state amphibian. This symbolic bill amends state statutes to officially recognize the spring peeper, a small tree frog common in the state, as the designated state amphibian. It has no regulatory or financial impact, as it solely establishes a symbolic state emblem without altering laws or affecting any specific group.
