Senate Bill 334 proposes to designate the monarch butterfly as the official state butterfly of Wisconsin. To implement this change, the bill introduces new legal language that creates a specific designation for the monarch butterfly in the statutes, stating, "The monarch butterfly is the state butterfly."

Additionally, the bill amends existing law regarding the Wisconsin Blue Book, which is required to include information about state symbols. The amendment expands the list of items to be included in the Blue Book by adding "butterfly" to the existing list, which previously included various state symbols such as the state song, flower, and animal. This ensures that the monarch butterfly will be recognized alongside other state symbols in official documentation.
