HB1212 distributes $100 million to South Dakota counties—$50 million from the state general fund and $50 million in federal COVID-relief funds—with each county receiving a base allocation of $500,000 and the remainder divided based on population. Counties can use this money for capital projects like infrastructure, housing, facilities, and repairs as determined by their county commissioners. The bill creates two new special funds in the state treasury (one for each funding source) to hold and distribute these amounts to all 66 counties.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
