SB 153 South Dakota Senate · 2025 Regular Session

require that expenditures from the department of game, fish and parks fund be budgeted through the general appropriation bill.

This bill requires that all spending from the Department of Game, Fish and Parks be included in the state's general appropriation bill rather than being funded through separate budget processes. The change affects state budgeting procedures by consolidating how funds for wildlife and parks management are allocated and tracked. By moving these expenditures into the general budget, the bill aims to streamline the approval process and ensure consistent oversight across all state spending. This procedural adjustment does not alter the department's existing programs but changes how its funding is formally authorized each fiscal year.
