This bill introduces a new provision allowing the governing body of first or second class municipalities in South Dakota to change the use of municipally owned parkland through an ordinance. Specifically, the governing body can authorize a change in the use of land acquired under existing law (9-38-31), provided that the new use serves a public purpose.

To ensure transparency, the bill mandates that the governing body must publish notice of the proposed ordinance 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, ensuring that the community is adequately informed about the proposed changes.
