This concurrent resolution expresses South Dakota's support for continuing operations at the D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery in Spearfish, which supplies trout to state waters and generates significant economic benefits for the region. The resolution highlights that the hatchery produces over $2.1 million in annual economic activity for Spearfish and supports South Dakota's fishing industry, which generates hundreds of millions in angler spending statewide. While this is a resolution rather than a law change, it signals the state legislature's commitment to maintaining this federal facility's operations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
