Joint resolution regarding funding for Montana Canada customs ports of entry

This bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature requesting the federal government to increase operating hours at Montana-Canada customs ports of entry. It directly affects cross-border travelers, businesses, and communities that rely on trade and travel between Montana and Canada. The resolution cites concerns that reduced service hours have hindered commerce and the movement of people for work, leisure, sports, and family visits. It highlights the strong economic relationship between the states, noting Montana exports over $1.2 billion annually to Canada. The bill directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to the U.S. President and Montana's congressional delegation.
