Senate Bill 1078 proposes to designate manoomin, also known as wild rice, as the official state native grain of Wisconsin. This bill aims to amend current law by creating a new section in the statutes that explicitly states, "Manoomin is the state native grain." Additionally, it modifies the existing statute regarding the Wisconsin Blue Book to include information about the newly designated native grain alongside other state symbols.

The bill includes a deletion of the word "herb" from the list of items that the Wisconsin Blue Book must contain, while inserting "and native grain" to reflect the new designation. This change ensures that the Blue Book will now provide information about manoomin as part of Wisconsin's state symbols, highlighting its cultural and historical significance to the state.
