South Dakota is setting aside $650,000 in state funds to pay for unusual or unexpected legal costs that the state government incurs. This money goes into a special fund for litigation expenses and can be used according to existing state rules. The bill declares this funding need an emergency so it takes effect immediately after the governor signs it.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment changed the bill designation from version 26.603.9 to 26.603.10 and added formal enrollment documentation with signature lines for legislative and executive officials.
