A 5088 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the description of the arms of the state and the state flag

This bill removes the phrase "E pluribus unum" from the official description of the state's coat of arms and flag. It amends the legal description to delete the motto "E pluribus unum" from the shield's scroll, while retaining "Excelsior" above it. The change takes effect immediately, with no requirement to replace existing flags or arms printed before the effective date. The bill is procedural, affecting only the official wording of state symbols.
