54-02-07. Theodore Roosevelt rough rider award.
There shall be awarded by the state of North Dakota, in the name of the legislative
assembly and the citizens of this state, an award to be known as the Theodore Roosevelt rough
rider award. The award is the highest recognition by the state of present or former North
Dakotans who have been influenced by this state in achieving national recognition in their fields
of endeavor, thereby reflecting credit and honor upon this state and its citizens. The award is not
for momentary success, but only for genuine achievements of lasting significance. It is the intent
of this section to guard the dignity of the rough rider award for recipients of the past as well as
the future. The award, of a type and design approved by the governor, must be awarded by the
governor upon the concurrence of the secretary of state and the director of the state historical
society. A record of all such awards and pertinent information in regard to each recipient must
be retained by the state archivist.
