SB18 updates South Dakota's pipeline safety rules to match current federal pipeline inspection standards and increases the maximum fine the state can impose on companies that violate these safety requirements. The bill ensures state regulations stay aligned with federal law and gives regulators stronger enforcement tools to punish pipeline safety violations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
