The South Dakota State Brand Board can now sign cooperative agreements with federally recognized Indian tribes to jointly investigate livestock theft on and near tribal lands, provided the tribe agrees to the arrangement. This new authority allows the Brand Board to work across jurisdictional boundaries to combat cattle theft in areas where both state and tribal lands are involved.
