Relating to: designating the monarch butterfly as the state butterfly.
This bill proposes to officially designate the monarch butterfly as the state butterfly of Wisconsin. It achieves this by adding a new section to the state statutes that explicitly names the monarch butterfly and amending the Wisconsin Blue Book to include information about state butterflies alongside other official symbols. The legislation does not create new regulations or funding but serves as a symbolic recognition of the insect's status within the state.
