This bill creates new rules preventing foreign entities and non-citizen nationals from certain countries from owning, operating, or controlling South Dakota's electric infrastructure, including power generation and transmission facilities (but not private rooftop solar). Any agreements that would give these prohibited parties control of electric facilities are unenforceable, and facilities in violation can be seized by the state.
