The bill proposes to amend the existing law regarding the South Dakota State Brand Board by changing its reporting structure. Specifically, it removes the board's attachment to the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources and instead attaches it to the Office of School and Public Lands.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the South Dakota State Brand Board will retain all its prescribed functions, including administrative functions, and it will have the authority to appoint a staff director to serve at its discretion. This change aims to streamline the board's operations and enhance its oversight within the new office.
