The bill proposes the establishment of a memorial dedicated to Montana's organ donors on the Capitol Complex. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring individuals who have made the selfless decision to donate their organs, thereby saving lives. To fund the construction and maintenance of this memorial, the bill mandates that private funding be utilized, ensuring that no public funds are allocated for this purpose.
Additionally, the bill amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 2-17-807 and 2-17-808, to incorporate provisions related to the memorial. These amendments aim to facilitate the establishment and management of the memorial within the legal framework of the state. The bill also includes a clause for contingent voidness, which suggests that certain conditions must be met for the bill to remain in effect.
