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 cranberry as
the Wisconsin state fruit 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.
