SB 76 revises South Dakota's rules for public access to meandered bodies of water by making significant changes to how the state regulates and manages these waterways. The bill repeals several outdated statutory sections and substantially rewrites existing laws governing water access, public rights, and related responsibilities across multiple state agencies. Overall, the changes modernize and consolidate the state's framework for ensuring public access to meandered water bodies like lakes and rivers.
