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 potential threats posed by overdevelopment, including residential construction and the expansion of mineral and mining industries, which could harm the region's beauty and health.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the Black Hills not only for current residents but also for future generations. It calls for the committee to assess existing regulatory frameworks related to government-sponsored economic development, mining, and residential projects in the area, and to propose necessary regulatory measures to ensure the environmental integrity and historical character of the Black Hills are maintained.
