This bill is a concurrent resolution that directs the Executive Board of the Legislature to create an interim study committee to examine mental health issues affecting South Dakota's first responders, such as police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. The resolution itself doesn't change existing state law but serves as a formal request for the legislature to investigate this topic and develop potential solutions during the interim period between legislative sessions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
