Ursa Minor designated as official state constellation.
HF 1172 designates Ursa Minor as Minnesota's official state constellation. The bill directly affects Minnesota's symbolic state identity by formally replacing the previous designation with Ursa Minor. It contains no funding, regulations, or policy changes - only a ceremonial update to the state's official symbols under Minnesota Statutes. This is a procedural resolution with no practical impact on residents or government operations.
