The state is setting aside $4,951,260 to cover emergency and disaster costs, such as those from severe weather or other crises affecting South Dakota. This money comes from the general fund and goes into a special emergency fund that the Department of Public Safety can use to pay for disaster-related expenses. The legislature is declaring this an emergency so the funding takes effect immediately rather than waiting for the standard budget process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
