Relating to: designating the wild turkey as the state game bird and the ruffed grouse as the state upland game bird.
SB 584 designates the wild turkey (meleagris gallopavo) as Wisconsin's state game bird and the ruffed grouse (bonasa umbellus) as the state upland game bird. The bill amends Wisconsin statutes to add these designations to the list of official state symbols included in the Wisconsin Blue Book. This is a symbolic change with no new policies or regulations; it simply updates the state's official records to recognize these birds. The bill affects state identity and official documentation but does not impact laws, funding, or citizen rights.
