This is a House concurrent resolution that honors and acknowledges Native American children who survived boarding schools in South Dakota—it is not a law change but rather a formal statement of recognition by the legislature. The resolution does not create new legal requirements or modify existing statutes; it serves as a symbolic gesture to remember this difficult historical chapter.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
