This concurrent resolution doesn't change state law—instead, it's a formal request from South Dakota's legislature asking the federal Department of Homeland Security to establish a tribal law enforcement training academy in the state. The resolution emphasizes that South Dakota's location and its nine tribal nations make it an ideal location for such an academy to train law enforcement officers serving Native American communities across the country.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The engrossed version added requirements that any tribal law enforcement training academy not be connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, used for ICE detention, or enter agreements with ICE.
The amendment removed three conditions requiring the training academy to avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement connections, detention use, and memoranda of understanding with ICE.
The bill designation changed from "SENATE ENGROSSED" to "ENROLLED AN ACT" and added adoption and concurrence dates with signature lines, reflecting the resolution's final passage through both chambers.
