SB 37 South Dakota Senate · 2025 Regular Session

revise and repeal provisions related to the 911 emergency surcharge and the 911 Coordination Board.

SB 37 proposes to revise and repeal existing provisions related to the 911 emergency surcharge and the 911 Coordination Board in South Dakota. This legislation directly affects the state's emergency communication funding structure and the administrative body overseeing 911 services. The bill would alter how the surcharge is collected and managed, and potentially change the composition or authority of the Coordination Board. By removing or updating these specific statutes, the bill aims to modify current 911 funding and oversight procedures.

MINOR
This bill enrolls and finalizes Senate Bill 37, which revises reporting requirements for 911 emergency services and repeals outdated session laws related to the 911 emergency surcharge and Coordination Board. The changes standardize annual reporting for public safety answering points to improve transparency and oversight of 911 funding and operations.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on 911 emergency services administration, but it transitions from draft legislation to an enrolled, enacted law.
REQUIREMENT

Added specific annual reporting requirements for public safety answering points, including emergency call volumes, employee counts, operational budgets, surcharge revenue, geographic territory descriptions, and operating hours.

Removed 2024 Session Laws chapter 144, section 4, which contained previous provisions related to the 911 emergency surcharge and Coordination Board that are now being superseded by the revised reporting framework.

TECHNICAL

Converted draft legislative text into enrolled final form with proper signatures, dates, and certification for the 100th Legislative Session of 2025.
