This resolution asks South Dakota's Water Management Board to prioritize reviewing and approving water rights applications and future use reservations from the Missouri River, particularly those submitted by public water systems. It doesn't change existing law but instead encourages the state board to speed up its process for handling these water requests to prepare for future water needs across the state.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
