The bill proposes the establishment of a new maximum daily meal allowance for wildland fire employees and fire suppression forces in South Dakota. This allowance will apply when these personnel are engaged in duties related to uncontrolled fires within the Black Hills Forest Fire Protection District or outside the district during a declared emergency by the Governor. The allowance will not exceed the current per diem rate set by the United States General Services Administration for South Dakota and will be published by the Department of Public Safety, taking effect on October 1st each year.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the daily meal allowance is applicable only to meals that are ordered and distributed in a manner approved by the Department of Public Safety. This new provision aims to ensure that wildland fire employees receive adequate support during emergency situations while maintaining compliance with established guidelines.
