SB108 lowers the minimum size requirement for power plants that need state approval from 150 megawatts down to an unspecified lower threshold (the exact new number isn't shown in this excerpt). This means smaller electricity generation facilities will now need to go through South Dakota's Public Utilities Commission review process that was previously only required for larger plants.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
