Bill Summary
An Act to modify the administration of the South Dakota-Ireland trade fund.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the administration of the South Dakota-Ireland trade fund by changing how members of the South Dakota-Ireland Trade Commission are appointed and how the commission operates. Specifically, it alters the terms of appointed members to begin in an odd-numbered year and end on December 31st of the following even-numbered year, and it changes the commission's meeting frequency from quarterly to at least once a year. The bill also designates the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council, rather than the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, to administer the trade fund, which is used for the commission's administrative expenses and work, and clarifies that the fund consists of all moneys raised by or on behalf of the commission, including gifts and grants.
