South Dakota is setting aside $1.5 million from its general fund to pay for major court cases and legal expenses the state is facing. The money goes into a special "extraordinary litigation fund" that the Bureau of Administration can use to cover eligible legal costs, and the bill declares this an emergency so it takes effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
