This bill proposes to designate rhubarb, scientifically known as Rheum rhabarbarum, as the official state vegetable of North Dakota. A new section will be added to chapter 54-02 of the North Dakota Century Code to formalize this designation.
The specific legal language inserted into the code states that "Rhubarb, rheum rhabarbarum, is the official vegetable of the state of North Dakota." This addition aims to recognize and celebrate rhubarb as a significant agricultural product and cultural symbol for the state.
