SB219 — require that a state agency consult with the Aeronautics Commission prior to purchasing, transferring, or disposing of a state owned and operated aircraft.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The amendment changed the consultation requirement from "when" to "prior to" purchasing aircraft, and excluded unmanned aircraft from the requirement while creating an exemption for the Board of Regents' educational aircraft.
The amendment added an exemption for the South Dakota Board of Technical Education and its institutions, mirroring the existing exemption for the Board of Regents when aircraft is used primarily for educational purposes.
The amendment corrects "agencies" to "agency" and removes redundant language stating the Board of Regents exemption, consolidating it with the South Dakota Board of Technical Education exemption.
