The bill amends the reporting requirements for public safety answering points in South Dakota. Specifically, it changes the submission deadline for their reports from July 31 to January 31 of each year. Additionally, the reporting period is revised from covering July 1 to July 1 of the following year, to instead cover January 1 to December 31 of the previous year.

The content of the report remains largely the same, requiring information such as the number of unique service calls for emergency services, total employees, operational budget, revenue from the 911 emergency surcharge, a description of the geographic area served, and hours of operation. The Department of Public Safety is also granted the authority to establish rules for additional reporting requirements as needed.
