SF 2832 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Ursa Minor designation as the official state constellation

SF 2832 designates Ursa Minor as Minnesota's official state constellation. This symbolic bill adds a new statutory provision (Minnesota Statutes § 1.1493) without altering any laws, policies, or funding. It directly affects the state's ceremonial identity by formally recognizing Ursa Minor as part of Minnesota's official emblems. The designation has no practical impact on residents, government operations, or legislative processes.
