This bill requires certain applicants seeking permits from South Dakota's Public Utilities Commission to prepare and pay for an environmental impact statement as part of their application. The bill modifies the existing fee structure that applicants must pay, ensuring these costs are covered by the applicants rather than the state. This change applies to major infrastructure projects that require Public Utilities Commission approval.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
