The bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7225, designates the spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) as the official state amphibian and recognizes the city of New Britain as the hot dog capital of the state. Both designations are set to take effect on October 1, 2025. The bill introduces new legal language to establish these designations, specifically in Sections 1 and 2, which are marked as new sections in the current law.

The fiscal impact of this bill is noted to be none for both the state and municipalities, indicating that the designations will not incur any financial costs or obligations. The bill was reported favorably by the Government Administration and Elections Committee, with a vote of 14 in favor and 5 against.
