This bill allows the governing body of a first or second class municipality in South Dakota to change the use of municipally owned parkland through an ordinance. Specifically, it introduces a new section to chapter 9-38, permitting such changes only if the land is designated for a public purpose.
To ensure transparency, the bill mandates that the governing body must provide notice of the proposed ordinance by publishing it in the municipality's official newspaper once a week for at least two consecutive weeks. Additionally, the final publication must occur at least fourteen days prior to the meeting where the ordinance will be first read.
