South Dakota will revise how the livestock disease emergency fund operates by clarifying that the Animal Industry Board deposits collected funds into this emergency account, which can only be used with the Governor's approval during declared emergencies for controlling livestock diseases. The bill also removes an outdated provision from state law while keeping the existing system where 10% of livestock auction inspection fees go to the emergency fund and 90% goes to inspector compensation.
