This bill sets aside $800,000 from South Dakota's general fund to pay for extraordinary litigation expenses—legal costs the state faces in lawsuits. The money goes into a dedicated fund that the Bureau of Administration oversees, and the bill declares an emergency so the funding takes effect immediately rather than waiting for the normal budget cycle.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
