South Dakota will provide $101 in state funding to Lake Area Technical College to build and equip a trades center with classrooms, labs, and student services on its campus. The college must raise matching funds from donations, grants, or other private sources equal to the remaining project cost, and the state cannot use bonds to pay for the project.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment replaces the substantive appropriation of `$5,200,000` with a placeholder amount of `$101`, which WEAKENS the bill by providing no meaningful funding for the trades center construction while keeping all other project details intact. This change indicates the final funding amount is still being negotiated in the appropriations process.
