The state will provide $1.25 million from its general fund to the Board of Regents to create a cybersecurity partnership between South Dakota State University and Dakota State University focused on protecting agricultural systems. The money will support developing college courses, conducting research, and providing educational programs to help farmers and agricultural businesses defend against cyber threats. The bill declares this an emergency so the funding takes effect immediately upon approval.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
