This bill creates a new state law prohibiting South Dakota from doing business with or investing money in "natural asset companies"—businesses that buy rights to manage natural resources like soil, water quality, and biodiversity for profit. The ban prevents these companies from gaining any interest in or control over public lands or state resources, and blocks the state from investing its money in such companies.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
