The state is appropriating $40 million to the University of South Dakota's Board of Regents to design and build a new indoor athletic facility that will include an indoor track, jumping and throwing areas, practice spaces, and seating for 2,000 spectators. The Board of Regents can adjust the cost estimate upward by up to 25 percent to account for inflation and changes in regulations, but cannot exceed that cap. The bill declares this appropriation an emergency, meaning it takes effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The changes converted the bill from its introduced form to its enrolled (final passed) form, making minor technical corrections like removing the introductory sponsor language and fixing a grammatical error (removing a comma after "Board of Regents"), while adding standard legislative certification and signature pages required for a completed bill. No substantive changes to the $40,000,000 appropriation for the University of South Dakota athletic facility were made.
