What changed in the latest version
52 added · 76 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of Bill SB 2065 includes two key changes: first, it now designates the American bumblebee as the state native insect, and second, it removes the designation of the rainbow scarab as the state soil insect. These changes are significant as they highlight a growing recognition of the importance of native species, like the bumblebee, in supporting local ecosystems and agriculture. Additionally, by simplifying the bill and focusing on fewer symbols, it may be easier for the public to understand and appreciate Oklahoma's state symbols.
