The bill proposes to officially designate the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as the state butterfly of Michigan. This designation aims to recognize the significance of the monarch butterfly within the state's natural heritage and promote awareness of its conservation.

The new legal language inserted into the current law states, "THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT," and establishes the monarch butterfly as the official butterfly of Michigan in Section 1. There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
