Assembly Bill 322 proposes to designate the monarch butterfly as the official state butterfly of Wisconsin. This bill introduces new legal language by creating a section in the statutes that explicitly states, "The monarch butterfly is the state butterfly." Additionally, it amends existing law to require the Wisconsin Blue Book to include information about the state butterfly alongside other state symbols.

The amendment to the Wisconsin Blue Book also updates the list of symbols by adding "butterfly" to the existing categories, which include various state symbols such as the state song, flower, and animal. The deletion of the word "and" before "herb" in the current law reflects this addition, ensuring that the Blue Book will now encompass the newly designated state butterfly.
