Names the red-spotted newt/eastern newt the official amphibian of the state of New York
This bill designates the red-spotted newt, also known as the eastern newt, as the official state amphibian of New York. It achieves this by adding a new section to the state laws that formally recognizes the species with its scientific name. The change takes effect immediately upon passage and serves primarily as a symbolic designation rather than altering legal protections or management rules.
