This bill modifies the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority's board structure by clarifying that both the president of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and the president of Black Hills State University serve as ex-officio, nonvoting members alongside the seven voting members appointed by the Governor. The bill makes minor technical corrections to the board composition rules and the authority's existing powers, but does not significantly change the agency's core functions or governance structure.
