MINOR
This bill modifies the requirements for municipalities to build or expand camping and tourist accommodation facilities when private campgrounds exist nearby. Previously, municipalities needed written approval from all private campground owners if the campground had multiple owners. The new language clarifies that only one owner with authority to act on behalf of all owners needs to provide approval, making the process simpler. Additionally, the bill adds specific conditions under which municipalities can expand existing facilities without needing private campground owner approval.
Scope change
The bill applies to municipalities in South Dakota constructing or expanding camping or tourist accommodation facilities when private campgrounds exist within fifteen miles.
REQUIREMENT

Changed approval requirements for multiple campground owners from needing unanimous consent to needing approval from just one authorized owner

Added specific conditions allowing municipalities to expand existing facilities without private campground approval if they reduce campsites and tent sites proportionally and do not expand total facility size

EXEMPTIONS

Added exemption for municipalities leasing camping facilities from the state that existed before January 1, 2017
