This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to amend or repeal the Dakota Removal Act of 1863, a federal law that forcibly removed Dakota people from Minnesota and South Dakota following the Dakota War. However, as a resolution, this bill does not change South Dakota state law itself—instead, it expresses the state legislature's position on a historical federal law and asks Congress to take action to address it.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
