South Dakota is spending $5 million from its general fund to buy a new airplane for the Highway Patrol Division, along with equipment to install in it. The bill declares an emergency so the spending can take effect immediately rather than waiting for the normal budget process. Any money not actually spent or committed will be returned to the general fund.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment converted the bill from its introduced form into its official enrolled version, adding standard legislative certification pages and signature blocks for the Governor and state officials while maintaining the $5,000,000 appropriation to the Department of Public Safety for a Highway Patrol airplane and mission equipment. This is a procedural formalization with no substantive change to the bill's purpose.
