AB 446 Wisconsin Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Relating to: designating the monarch butterfly as the state butterfly.

This bill designates the monarch butterfly as the official state butterfly of Wisconsin. It achieves this by adding a new section to the state statutes that explicitly names the monarch in this role and updating the Wisconsin Blue Book to include butterflies alongside other official state symbols. While the legislation was introduced in the 2024 session, it did not pass into law during that legislative cycle.
