Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law designates a variety of state symbols and requires the
Wisconsin
Blue Book to include information about them. This bill designates the common
five-lined skink (plestiodon fasciatus) as the Wisconsin state lizard and requires the
Wisconsin Blue Book to include that information.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
