An Act to establish the blue-spotted salamander as the official amphibian of the Commonwealth

This bill designates the blue-spotted salamander as the official amphibian of Massachusetts. It achieves this by adding a new section to the state's General Laws that formally recognizes the animal in this capacity. The change primarily affects state records and symbols, such as those used on license plates or educational materials. No new funding or regulatory requirements are created by this legislation.
