Relating to: designating the monarch butterfly as the state butterfly.
SB 334 designates the monarch butterfly as Wisconsin's official state butterfly. It adds a new section (1.10(3)(w)) to state statutes declaring this designation and amends another section (1.10(4)) to include "butterfly" in the list of symbols featured in the Wisconsin Blue Book. The bill directly affects state symbolism by formally recognizing the monarch butterfly alongside existing symbols like the state bird and flower. This is a procedural, non-regulatory change with no funding or policy impacts, solely updating official state identifiers.
