This concurrent resolution urges South Dakota's State Trade Office to actively promote international business opportunities for the state's exporters by serving as an advocate, providing export research and education, identifying trade barriers, and organizing trade missions. The resolution doesn't change existing law but rather expresses the Legislature's recommendation that the trade office take on a stronger role in helping South Dakota businesses expand into global markets. While the document shows amendments to several sections of law, the resolution itself is a non-binding statement of legislative intent rather than a mandate that changes legal requirements.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
