This bill revises the South Dakota Board on Geographic Names by changing its membership to include the secretary of tribal relations as a voting member and representatives from six state departments (instead of the previous structure). The board's responsibilities remain focused on reviewing proposed geographic names, gathering public input, and making recommendations to the federal Board on Geographic Names, but the bill also adds a new requirement for public meetings when naming unnamed geographic places.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
