HB 1217 creates a new scholarship program for students who are not tribal members but are attending tribally controlled colleges in South Dakota. The state will provide financial support to help these non-member students pay for their education at these institutions. The bill also includes an appropriation (funding allocation) to pay for this scholarship program.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
