This resolution urges the federal government to fully fund the police departments serving the Oglala Sioux Tribe on Pine Ridge Reservation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe on Rosebud Reservation, arguing that the federal government has a treaty obligation to do so. The resolution does not change South Dakota state law itself; instead, it expresses the state legislature's position that inadequate federal funding is creating a public safety crisis on these reservations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
