This bill designates the O-S Cross cabbage, commonly referred to as "giant green cabbage," as the official state vegetable of Alaska. The new legal language added to current law specifies this designation under a newly created section, AS 44.09.055, which states that the O-S Cross cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is the official vegetable of the state.

Additionally, the bill provides for an immediate effective date upon enactment, as outlined in AS 01.10.070(c). This means that once the bill is passed, the designation of the O-S Cross cabbage as the state vegetable will take effect without delay.
