South Dakota receives $87 million in federal funding to expand broadband internet access across the state, with the Governor's Office of Economic Development distributing grants to projects that meet federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program requirements. The bill declares an emergency to allow the funds to be spent immediately rather than following standard appropriation timelines.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
This amendment is a procedural enrollment of the bill, changing only the legislative formatting and adding signature lines for the Governor and state officials—the substantive content appropriating `$87,000,000` for broadband infrastructure expansion remains unchanged.
