South Dakota funds fairgrounds demolition

The law authorizes South Dakota's Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources to remove specific buildings at the Huron State Fairgrounds. These are the barns at Livestock Avenue and Market Street and the Quonset huts on Lincoln Avenue South. The department can clear debris, repair infrastructure, and restore the grounds. The law authorizes $337,000 in spending from other funds for this work. The department can also accept, transfer, and spend federal funds, donations, and other outside money. All project funds must follow the law's project and funding limits; money not lawfully spent or committed returns under state budget rules. The Bureau of Human Resources and Administration oversees the projects. The agriculture secretary must approve payment vouchers, and the State Auditor issues payment warrants. An emergency clause makes the law effective upon passage and approval.
