South Dakota is creating a new grant and relief program for businesses that remove timber and treat forest land in the Black Hills to prevent wildfires and insect damage, funded with $20 million in federal pandemic relief money administered by the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Eligible businesses can apply for either compensation for losses they've already suffered since 2020 or grants to prevent future losses, with a cap of $15 million per applicant. This is a new program—no existing law is being changed, just created.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
