Bill Summary
An Act to repeal the special donations fund and make an appropriation to the Department of Education for the provision of a grant to support the Jobs for America's Graduates-South Dakota program.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $500,000 from the general fund to the Department of Education to provide a grant to a South Dakota-based nonprofit organization supporting the Jobs for America's Graduates program, which helps students prepare for careers. The grant funds can be used to match private donations, federal grants, or support collaborative efforts for the program's operations in schools, but not for an endowment. Additionally, the bill transfers any money currently in the "special donations fund" to the general fund and repeals the law that created this fund, which previously accepted donations for the Jobs for South Dakota's Graduates program. This Act will take effect on June 30, 2026.
