South Dakota is updating its pipeline safety inspection rules to align with the most recent federal pipeline safety standards, changing the reference date from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2021. This ensures that state pipeline inspectors follow the latest federal regulations for gas pipelines and related facilities. The change keeps South Dakota's pipeline safety program current with federal requirements so the state can maintain its certification to oversee pipeline safety.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
