The Department of Public Safety will now set a daily meal allowance for wildland firefighters and fire suppression crews working on uncontrolled fires in the Black Hills or during gubernatorial emergencies, capped at the federal General Services Administration per diem rate for South Dakota. This new allowance applies only to meals that the department approves for ordering and distribution, and will be updated each October. The change overrides previous meal allowance rules for these specific fire-fighting situations.
The bill number designation changed from 26.401.11 to 26.401.12, and formatting was updated from introduced version to enrolled version with official signature pages.
