# HB 1148 Summary This bill establishes a new Commission on Indian Affairs within South Dakota state government to serve as an advisory body on issues affecting Native American tribes and communities in the state. The commission will bring together representatives from tribes, state agencies, and the public to develop recommendations on policy matters related to Indian affairs. This is a new governmental entity—South Dakota did not previously have a dedicated commission focused specifically on Indian affairs.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
