BILL NUMBER: S416 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the state law, in relation to making the Karner blue the state butterfly PURPOSE : To establish the Karner blue butterfly as the official state butterfly for New York state SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Amends the State law by adding a new section 88 designating the Karner blue butterfly as the official butterfly of the state of New York. JUSTIFICATION : The Karner blue butterfly has state and federal endangered status, In 1970, New York adopted the Eastern bluebird as its state bird. Since then, the bluebird has been coming back from alarmingly low numbers. New Yorkers began building special nesting boxes along fence rows to help the birds as they did not have natural nests. Making the Karner blue New York state's official butterfly will inspire people to support actions to protect the Karner blue, which will help to ensure the preservation of the species.
