South Dakota will provide $400,000 from its general fund to pay for unexpected legal expenses the state is facing. The money goes into an "extraordinary litigation fund," and the Bureau of Administration commissioner must approve how it's spent. The bill declares this an emergency so the money becomes available immediately rather than waiting for the normal budget process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
