The state also reserves the right for itself and representatives to enter upon state lands for any lawful purposes including inspections.(2) Representatives of the Montana historical society have the right to enter any state lands at any reasonable time, upon notification to the department, to perform their duties in connection with the State Antiquities Act, Title 22, chapter 3, part 4, MCA. Any person discovering an object or site of historic, prehistoric, archeological, paleontological, scientific, architectural, or cultural interest on state land shall report such discovery to the Montana historical society and the department and take all steps necessary to preserve such site or object.
