South Dakota creates a new special fund called the ARPA Water and Environment Fund to hold federal pandemic relief money for water projects, and immediately sets aside $10 million for the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources to provide grants for studying and building a waterline from the Missouri River to western South Dakota. Any money not spent or committed by the end of 2024 must be returned according to state budget rules.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
