South Dakota is spending $2.65 million from its general fund to pay for wildfire suppression costs across the state. The bill declares an emergency so the money can be spent immediately without the usual budget restrictions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
This is not a substantive amendment but rather a formatting change converting the bill from its introduced version to its enrolled (final passed) version, which adds official signature lines and attestation pages for legislative and executive approval while removing line numbers and introductory language. The bill's core purpose and the `$2,652,561` appropriation for wildfire suppression costs remain unchanged.
