SB 72 changes how South Dakota lists and delists threatened and endangered species by requiring the Game, Fish and Parks Commission to adopt formal administrative rules for any species additions or removals, rather than simply publishing a public notice. The bill maintains the existing 30-day public comment period and notification requirement to neighboring states where the species exists.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
