This bill adjusts spending amounts in South Dakota's budget for fiscal year 2026 by increasing or redirecting funds to various state agencies and programs. The changes include boosting funding for economic development, state employee compensation, building maintenance and repairs, and information technology services, with increases coming from general funds, federal funds, and other revenue sources.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The bill was extensively rewritten (hoghoused) with numerous budget adjustments across multiple state agencies and programs, including increased funding for economic development, information technology, public broadcasting, and various departmental operations, while some line items saw decreases—this fundamentally shifts from the original bill's scope into a comprehensive fiscal year 2026 appropriations revision touching dozens of budget categories.
The enrolled version removed the "hog house" notice and line-number formatting from the engrossed bill, converting it from a draft subject to extensive amendment into its final legislative form for fiscal year 2026 appropriations across multiple state agencies and fund categories. This is a technical procedural change reflecting the bill's progression through the legislative process rather than a substantive shift in its appropriations purpose.
