HB1216 creates a new "local assistance fund" and adjusts how South Dakota handles leftover money from the state budget each year. Instead of all unobligated cash going into the budget reserve fund (the state's emergency fund), the bill directs some of that money to this new local assistance fund to help communities, while capping the budget reserve fund at 10% of general fund spending.
