HB9

Cultural and aesthetic grants

Complete·5/13/25

Montana HB9 allocates funds for cultural and aesthetic projects, including grants to various organizations and the care of capitol complex artwork.

Montana HB9 establishes priorities for cultural and aesthetic project grant awards, appropriating money for these grants. The Montana arts council disburses these funds through grant contracts, requiring grantees to acknowledge coal tax support. Specific grants are awarded to numerous organizations, including the Pondera Arts Council and the C.M. Russell Museum. Additionally, $30,000 is allocated to the Montana historical society for the care and conservation of capitol complex artwork.
