South Dakota allocates $1.425 million from the state water and environment fund to three water-related projects: a regional water system study, a statewide groundwater and surface water assessment with a public wetlands map, and a flood control study for the Big Sioux River near Watertown. The board overseeing these grants can now cover up to 100 percent of the non-federal costs for the water management studies, removing previous restrictions on how much state funding could support these projects.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment converted the bill from its introduced form to its enrolled (final passed) form, making only technical and formatting corrections such as updating bill version numbers and fixing a statutory citation reference in Section 5 (changing "63.1. 17" to "46A-1-63.1."), without altering any appropriation amounts or the substantive water and environmental funding purposes.
