This bill eliminates South Dakota's nine river basin natural resource districts, which were government subdivisions organized to manage water resources in different regions across the state. The law removes the legal framework that created and defined these districts and their boundaries, effectively dissolving this system of natural resource management.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
