Relates to the description of the arms of the state and the state flag
This bill proposes to remove the Latin phrase "E pluribus unum" from the official description of the state's arms and the state flag. By amending the relevant state law, the legislation would update the motto displayed on the state seal to include only the word "Excelsior." The bill also clarifies that existing flags and seals printed before the law takes effect do not need to be replaced.
