PROPOSEDPROPOSED BILLSouth DakotaMEDIUM IMPACT
Prescribed Burning of State-Owned Land by Adjoining Landowners
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would allow a person who owns land adjacent to state-owned property to conduct prescribed burning on the state-owned land. Before this change, it is unclear whether such activities were permitted or regulated in South Dakota. The proposal affects adjoining landowners and potentially impacts how they manage fire for ecological purposes. Since no effective date is specified, when this would take effect remains unknown.
