Senate Bill 584 proposes to designate the wild turkey as the state game bird and the ruffed grouse as the state upland game bird in Wisconsin. To implement this change, the bill creates new subsections in the statutes, specifically 1.10 (3) (w) and (x), which formally recognize these birds. Additionally, the bill amends subsection 1.10 (4) to require the Wisconsin Blue Book to include information about these newly designated state symbols.

The amendments ensure that the Wisconsin Blue Book will now reflect the inclusion of the wild turkey and ruffed grouse among other state symbols, such as the state song, flower, and animal. The deletion of the word "herb" from the list of items in the Blue Book is also noted, as it is replaced with the terms "game bird" and "upland game bird" to accommodate the new designations.
