The bill HB2477 proposes to designate Pluto as the official state planet of Arizona. This addition would be made to the existing list of state emblems outlined in Title 41, Chapter 4.1, Article 5 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new section, 41-860.08, will specifically state that "Pluto is the official state planet."

Currently, Arizona law includes various state emblems such as the state fossil, bird, flower, and others, but does not designate a state planet. The bill does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund. If passed, the designation of Pluto as the state planet will take effect on the general effective date.
