# SB183 Summary SB183 modifies South Dakota's rules for buffer strips—vegetated areas required along waterways and wetlands to prevent soil erosion and protect water quality. The bill revises requirements for how wide these strips must be, what types of vegetation are acceptable, and how they're enforced, making the standards more flexible for landowners while maintaining environmental protections.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
