South Dakota is spending $2.65 million from its general fund to pay for wildfire suppression costs across the state. The bill declares an emergency so the money can be spent immediately without the usual budget restrictions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
This change converted the bill from its introduced form to its enrolled (final passed) version, adding official certification pages and signature blocks while maintaining the core appropriation of $2,652,561 for wildfire suppression costs unchanged. The amendment does not alter the bill's substantive purpose or funding amount—it is purely a formatting and ceremonial update to reflect the bill's passage through the legislature.
