Senate Bill 334 proposes to designate the monarch butterfly as the official state butterfly of Wisconsin. This bill introduces new legal language by creating section 1.10 (3) (w) of the statutes, which explicitly states that "The monarch butterfly is the state butterfly."
Additionally, the bill amends section 1.10 (4) of the statutes to require that the Wisconsin Blue Book includes information about the state butterfly, along with other state symbols. The amendment removes the word "and" before "herb" and adds "butterfly" to the list of items that must be included in the Blue Book, ensuring that the monarch butterfly is recognized alongside other state symbols.
