SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Official emblems and designations; Eastern Garter Snake. Establishes the Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) as the official snake of the Commonwealth. The bill also adds to § 1-510 of the Code of Virginia, which consolidates official state emblems and designations, two designations—the Northern Cardinal as the state bird and the American Dogwood as the state tree, adopted as HJ 9 (1950) and HJ 6 (1956), respectively—that had been inadvertently omitted.
