South Dakota counties currently must spend their rural access infrastructure fund money by the end of fiscal year 2029, but this bill creates a new state fund to receive any unspent money counties don't obligate by that deadline. Starting in 2029, counties will transfer any leftover infrastructure funds to the state treasurer every three years, where the money will be held in a county and township infrastructure fund for future allocation. This prevents rural infrastructure money from being lost while giving the state a way to manage and redistribute funds that counties don't use.
