This bill authorizes the South Dakota Department of Corrections to construct a new prison facility in Minnehaha County, which will accommodate offenders committed to the department. The bill includes provisions for the purchase and exchange of specific real properties necessary for the construction, as well as the appropriation of $650 million from the incarceration construction fund for both land acquisition and facility construction. Additionally, it mandates that the Bureau of Human Resources and Administration oversee the design and construction process, ensuring that all construction packages are competitively procured.
Furthermore, the bill establishes a new section in chapter 24-1, stipulating that the newly constructed prison facility cannot be used for the temporary detention of non-adjudicated noncitizens who are actively being deported by the Department of Homeland Security. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, highlighting the urgency of the project for state government support and public institutions.
