SB 140 increases the enrollment capacity for Native American students from South Dakota's nine federally recognized tribes at the state's regental universities (the University of South Dakota and South Dakota State University). The bill provides additional support and resources to help these tribal members access higher education at these institutions. This expands educational opportunities for Indigenous students in South Dakota's public university system.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
