CA SR140

Relative to California Wildlife Day.

Passed Senate Tony Strickland (R)
Plain English Summary

California Senate Resolution 140 (SR140) designates September 4, 2026, as "California Wildlife Day" to honor Jackie, a bald eagle from Big Bear Valley. Jackie became an internet sensation after a webcam installed in her nest in 2015 allowed millions to watch her raise several eaglets. She passed away on August 10, 2026, and the resolution encourages Californians to celebrate her memory and the state's diverse wildlife.
