South Dakota is updating the process for accepting control over federal lands within the state, like military bases or other federal properties. The bill clarifies what information must be included when the Governor accepts jurisdiction over these lands—specifically requiring detailed boundary descriptions and a statement about whether future military land expansions are included—and allows state and local agencies to create agreements with federal agencies to coordinate responsibilities after the transfer.
