This 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. The commission is required to provide this survey to participants in the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network summer camps during the summers of 2026 and 2027, along with relevant information available on their public website.

Furthermore, 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, 2027. 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.
