This bill designates the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) as the official state marsupial of New Hampshire. It introduces a new section to the existing law, specifically amending RSA 3 by adding section 3:32, which states that the Virginia opossum will be referred to as "New Hampshire opossums" within the state's borders.
The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, formalizing the recognition of the Virginia opossum as a symbol of New Hampshire's wildlife. There are no deletions from current law in this bill; it solely adds new legal language to establish the state marsupial.
