This bill establishes new designations for Florida's state birds by creating a new section in the Florida Statutes. It designates the American flamingo as the official state bird and the Florida scrub-jay as the official state songbird. These new designations will replace the previous designation of the mockingbird as the official state bird, which was established during the 1927 Regular Session.
The bill includes specific legal language to formalize these changes, with the new section 15.0352 outlining the designations. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
