The bill redesignates Wolf Point as the official site of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center. It amends Section 1-1-525 of the Montana Code Annotated to reflect this change, stating that "the city of Wolf Point is designated the site of the Montana cowboy hall of fame and western heritage center." The bill also directs the Department of Commerce and the Department of Transportation to identify Wolf Point as the location of the hall of fame on official state maps and to provide appropriate markers when existing road signs are replaced.
Additionally, the bill emphasizes the historical significance of Wolf Point, highlighting its long-standing rodeo traditions and notable figures associated with the area. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, ensuring that the recognition of Wolf Point as a cultural and historical site is promptly implemented.
