The bill mandates the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to conduct a survey among Florida's youth to assess whether a new bird species should be designated as the official state bird, replacing the northern mockingbird. The survey will include specific bird species such as the northern mockingbird, American osprey, Florida scrub jay, American flamingo, and American white ibis. It is required that the survey be provided to participants in the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network summer camps during the summers of 2025 and 2026, along with relevant information available on the commission's website.

Additionally, the commission must submit the results of the survey to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by December 31, 2026. This initiative aims to engage the next generation of Floridians in the decision-making process regarding the state's official bird, reflecting a shift towards inclusivity in legislative considerations. The bill will take effect upon becoming law.
