This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create the South Dakota Forever Trust Fund, which would be submitted to voters in the 2022 general election. The amendment would establish a new section in the state constitution to govern how this trust fund is created and managed. If approved by voters, this would allow South Dakota to establish a permanent investment fund (similar to endowments used by universities or foundations).
