SB 57 South Dakota Senate · 2026 Regular Session

clarify when agency financial resource information must be filed in the permanent administrative rulemaking process.

SB 57 clarifies the financial information state agencies must submit when proposing a rule that increases a fee. It specifies that agencies must provide detailed records of their financial resources, including beginning and ending fund balances, receipts, and disbursements for the last two fiscal years, plus projected figures for the current and next fiscal year. This information must be filed with the Interim Rules Review Committee and code counsel as part of the rulemaking process before a public hearing. The requirement applies only to fee-increase proposals and does not alter other rulemaking procedures.

This bill clarifies the rules for when government agencies must submit financial resource information during the permanent rulemaking process.

REQUIREMENT

Agencies proposing fee increases must now submit specific financial data, including beginning and ending fund balances, receipts, and disbursements for the last two fiscal years, as well as projections for the current and next fiscal years.
