Establish Montana mining day
This bill establishes Montana Mining Day on February 9 each year to honor the state's mining heritage and economic contributions. It designates this date because it marks when the territorial government adopted Montana's state motto, "oro y plata," meaning "gold and silver." The legislation recognizes mining's historical role in the state's development and its ongoing importance to Montana's economy, jobs, and energy production. The bill does not create new regulations or funding but serves as a commemorative measure to promote awareness of mining's significance to the state.
