SB 70 consolidates three state transportation bodies into one by transferring the duties of the South Dakota Railroad Board and the South Dakota Aeronautics Commission to the existing Transportation Commission. The Transportation Commission will grow from seven to nine members, with at least two members required to have railroad experience and at least two to have aviation experience. The bill eliminates the separate Railroad Board and Aeronautics Commission as independent entities while centralizing their responsibilities under the Department of Transportation.
