South Dakota creates a new International Business and Trade Office within the Governor's Office of Economic Development to help state businesses expand into foreign markets. The office will provide export advocacy and education, identify trade barriers, organize trade missions, and can partner with public and private organizations to accomplish these goals. This is a new state function with no existing law being changed—it simply establishes a dedicated office to promote South Dakota exports.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
