Bill > HB190

This bill establishes American rodeo as the official state sport of Montana. By designating rodeo as the state sport, the legislation formally recognizes the cultural and historical significance of this competitive equestrian and livestock performance activity to Montana's heritage. The bill specifies that this designation will be codified as part of Title 1, Chapter 1, Part 5 of Montana's state laws, which governs general provisions and state symbols. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, meaning it becomes law as soon as it is signed by the appropriate state officials. The bill was introduced with bipartisan support, with numerous legislators from across the state signing on as co-sponsors, which suggests broad legislative backing for recognizing rodeo as an important part of Montana's identity and traditions.
