South Dakota will establish a new daily meal allowance for wildland firefighters and fire suppression workers fighting uncontrolled fires in the Black Hills or during state emergencies, with the amount capped at the federal government's standard per diem rate for South Dakota. The Department of Public Safety will set and publish this allowance amount each October, and it only applies to meals that the department has approved for ordering and distribution. This creates a specific meal reimbursement rule for these firefighters that differs from the existing general meal allowance rules in state law.
