The resolution encourages the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council to form an interim legislative committee focused on the preservation and protection of the Black Hills in South Dakota. It highlights the area's unique historical, ecological, and cultural significance, while expressing concern over the potential negative impacts of overdevelopment, including residential construction and the expansion of mining and mineral extraction industries. The resolution emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the Black Hills for future generations to appreciate its invaluable qualities.

The proposed committee would evaluate existing regulatory frameworks related to government-sponsored economic development, mining, and residential projects in the Black Hills. Its goal would be to recommend appropriate regulatory measures to ensure the environmental health and historical integrity of the region are maintained, thereby addressing the potential dangers posed by unchecked development activities.
