South Dakota establishes a new Commission on Truth and Reconciliation made up of seven governor-appointed members to review how past and present federal and state policies have affected the state's nine federally recognized tribes. The commission will gather testimony from affected Native Americans, document the impacts of government policies, and recommend steps toward healing and improved tribal-state relations before dissolving after submitting its final report to the Governor and Legislature.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
