create the water infrastructure development fund.
SB 202 proposes establishing a new Water Infrastructure Development Fund in South Dakota to support water-related projects. The bill directly affects state agencies, local governments, and communities that manage or need water infrastructure improvements. Key provisions include creating a dedicated funding source, likely through state appropriations or fees, to finance water system upgrades, maintenance, and expansion. The fund would provide financial resources for projects addressing water supply, treatment, or distribution needs across the state.
