Senate Appropriations Engrossed Enrolled · 5 edits · Mar 6, 2025
MODERATE
This bill revises South Dakota's interim transfer and appropriation laws to clarify how state funds can be moved between agencies and budget units. It establishes clearer approval processes requiring special committee oversight for certain transfers, defines key budget terms more precisely, and creates new reporting requirements for all fund transfers to ensure transparency and accountability in state spending.
Scope change
The bill expands oversight requirements for fund transfers between agencies and budget units, particularly for ongoing transfers and those involving the Board of Regents institutions.
REQUIREMENT

Added requirement that ongoing transfers between budget units within an agency, and all transfers between agencies, must be approved by the special committee rather than just the agency head.

Requires the Bureau of Finance and Management to transmit transfer notices to the special committee at least ten days before approval for committee-approved transfers, and immediately after for other transfers.

Added requirement that the Bureau of Finance and Management must maintain public records of all transfer approvals for public inspection.

DEFINITION

Clarified definitions of 'agency,' 'budget unit,' 'general appropriation bill,' 'general contingency funds,' and 'special committee' to improve clarity on what entities and funds are covered.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified transfer eligibility rules to distinguish between one-time transfers (agency head approval) and ongoing transfers (special committee approval), with specific provisions for Board of Regents institutions.
