State mammal.
HB 1237 designates the Indiana bat as Indiana's official state mammal. This symbolic bill directly affects all Indiana residents by formally recognizing this native species as a state emblem. The key provision is the legislative designation itself, with no additional policy changes or mechanisms beyond naming the bat. It is a non-substantive, ceremonial measure focused on state symbolism.
