South Dakota farmers and livestock producers will see changes to how emergency disease funds are managed and accessed. The bill clarifies that the livestock disease emergency fund can only be used when the Governor declares an emergency and authorizes its use for controlling livestock diseases, and it removes an outdated section of law related to these funds. These changes streamline the process for accessing emergency funds during animal disease outbreaks while maintaining state oversight of the money.
