Assembly Bill 291 mandates that state agencies in Wisconsin prioritize the use of native prairie and forage plants to support the health of native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The bill establishes a new section, 20.935, in the statutes that defines a state agency and outlines the initiative for promoting the use of these plants.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to provide information to state agencies upon request to assist in implementing this initiative. This legislative effort aims to enhance biodiversity and ecological health by encouraging the use of native flora in state projects and programs.
