This bill designates the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) as the official state marsupial of New Hampshire. To implement this change, a new section is added to the existing law, specifically amending RSA 3 by inserting a new section 3:32, which states, "The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is hereby designated as the official state marsupial of New Hampshire."
The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, marking a formal recognition of the Virginia opossum within the state's legal framework. There are no deletions from current law in this bill; it solely involves the insertion of new legal language to establish the state marsupial.
