This bill amends the composition and staffing requirements of the South Dakota-Ireland Trade Commission. The commission will continue to consist of six members, including two members from the Senate and two from the House of Representatives, along with a representative from a private sector association focused on international trade, an officer from the Executive Branch, and two representatives from South Dakota private industry. Each appointed member will serve a two-year term and can be reappointed indefinitely. In the event of a vacancy, the position will be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council will provide administrative services to the commission. It establishes that the commission will select a chair from among the four appointed legislators during its initial meeting and annually thereafter, and mandates that the commission meet at least quarterly at the chair's discretion.
