This bill requires the South Dakota Legislature to approve any real property leases that the state government needs to operate if the lease lasts longer than a certain duration or costs more than a specified annual rental amount. Currently, state agencies can enter into these leases without legislative review, but this bill adds a new approval requirement for larger or longer-term leases to give lawmakers more oversight of state spending on real estate.
