This bill expands an existing requirement for the governor to meet annually with the U.S. Forest Service by adding a new requirement to also meet with South Dakota's congressional delegation and state legislators to discuss federal and state issues affecting residents. The new meeting with Congress and state lawmakers must take place right after the governor's State of the State address and can be held in person or electronically.
