South Dakota is authorizing the Department of Corrections to build a new prison facility in Lincoln County and appropriating $763 million from a state construction fund to pay for it, with an additional $182 million being transferred from the general fund and budget reserve to support the project. The bill also allows Lincoln County municipalities to handle sewage treatment for the new facility. This represents a major new prison construction initiative rather than a change to existing law.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
