The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5159, seeks to amend chapter 33 of the general statutes to officially designate the spring peeper, scientifically known as Pseudacris crucifer, as the state amphibian. This designation aims to recognize the spring peeper's significance and promote awareness of the species within the state.

The bill introduces new legal language to incorporate the spring peeper into the state's official symbols, while there are no deletions from current law noted in this proposal. The initiative is presented by Representative Reddington-Hughes from the 66th District and has been referred to the Committee on Government Administration and Elections for further consideration.
