HB1261 provides emergency funding to pay for wildfire suppression costs that the state has already incurred or will incur to fight wildfires in South Dakota. This is a one-time appropriation (not a permanent change to law) meant to cover firefighting expenses when regular budget funds aren't sufficient to handle the state's wildfire response.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
