South Dakota will allocate $5 million to volunteer fire departments to help them buy protective gear for firefighters, with priority going to departments that show the greatest need for equipment. The money comes from the state's general fund and will be distributed by the Department of Public Safety on a first-come, first-served basis, with any unspent funds reverting back to the state by June 30, 2030.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
