This bill authorizes the Department of Corrections to construct a new prison facility in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, for offenders committed to the department. It includes provisions for the purchase of specific real property, which consists of approximately 137.46 acres, 11.15 acres, and 28.98 acres in Minnehaha County. The bill also allows for the exchange of state-owned real property in Lincoln County, totaling 320 acres, as part of the transaction. Additionally, it mandates that the Bureau of Human Resources and Administration competitively procure construction services and outlines the financial appropriations necessary for the project, including a transfer of $78,778,932 to the incarceration construction fund and an appropriation of $650,000,000 for land purchase and construction costs.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the new prison facility cannot be used for the temporary detention of non-adjudicated noncitizens who are being actively deported by the Department of Homeland Security. It establishes a timeline for the appropriation, stating that any unspent funds by June 30, 2032, will revert according to existing procedures. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing its necessity for the support of state government and public institutions.
