                                  AN ACT

     Designating the whitetail deer as the official State animal.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  The whitetail deer is an animal that is found in
     abundance in the wooded areas of our Commonwealth and has played
     an integral part in solving the problem of survival of our early
     settlers and Indian population. The "whitetail," as it is
     affectionately referred to, is a proud and noble animal
     possessing intelligence, endurance and character. Therefore, the
     "whitetail deer" is selected, designated and adopted as the
     official State animal of this Commonwealth.
        Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
