STATE SYMBOLS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This bill adds a State symbol by amending Idaho Code, Chapter 45, Title 67, by the addition of a new Idaho Code § 67-4516, to designate and declare Oryctodromeus (Ory) as the State dinosaur of Idaho. Paleontologists have only found this creature in Idaho (and a very small corner of Montana). Seventeen other states have a designated state dinosaur.
