South Dakota's Department of Game, Fish and Parks will now need to get approval from the state Legislature before spending more than $1 million on buildings, facilities, infrastructure projects, or real estate purchases. If the Legislature isn't in session and time is critical, the department can get emergency approval from a special legislative committee instead. The bill prevents the department from splitting up projects into smaller pieces to avoid this approval requirement.
