Assembly Bill 1123 proposes to designate manoomin, also known as wild rice, as the official state native grain of Wisconsin. This bill amends current law to include this designation and mandates that the Wisconsin Blue Book, which contains information about various state symbols, reflect this addition.
Specifically, the bill creates a new section in the statutes, 1.10 (3) (w), stating that "Manoomin is the state native grain." Additionally, it amends section 1.10 (4) to include "native grain" among the various state symbols listed in the Wisconsin Blue Book, replacing the previous mention of "herb" with this new insertion.
