This bill establishes new designations for Florida's state bird and state songbird by creating a new section in the Florida Statutes. The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is designated as the official state bird, while the Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is designated as the official state songbird. These new designations will replace the previous designation of the mockingbird as the official state bird, which was established in 1927.

The bill includes specific legal language that outlines these designations and clarifies that they will take effect on July 1, 2025. The creation of section 15.0352 in the Florida Statutes formalizes these changes, ensuring that the American flamingo and Florida scrub-jay are recognized as symbols of the state moving forward.
