SB78

The bill was extensively rewritten (hoghoused) with numerous line-item adjustments across multiple state agencies' budgets for fiscal year 2026, including increases to the Governor's economic development office, state employee compensation pools, and public broadcasting, alongside selective decreases in some departments like agriculture. This represents a substantial restructuring of the original appropriations priorities rather than a simple technical revision.

The amendment converted the bill from its engrossed (draft) version to its enrolled (final passed) version, removing all legislative formatting notes and adjusting numerous budget line items across multiple state agencies—including increases to the Governor's Office of Economic Development federal funds (from "$28,675,155" to "$44,050,155"), South Dakota Public Broadcasting federal funds (from "$272,484" to "$3,641,933"), and various other agency operating expenses. This is a standard procedural transition that finalizes the appropriations bill without changing its core purpose of revising the fiscal year 2026 general appropriations.
