This bill amends the existing legislation regarding the cybersecurity services initiative in South Dakota by appropriating $7,000,000 from the general fund to the Office of the Attorney General. The funds are designated for the purpose of creating and enhancing cybersecurity measures within the state. Specifically, the bill outlines that the appropriated funds must be used to expand and improve cybersecurity for counties, nonprofit entities that provide drinking water and sanitary sewer utilities, utilities operated by political subdivisions, and municipalities.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that the disbursement of these funds should be tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring that the cybersecurity requirements of the state are effectively addressed. The amendments aim to clarify the types of entities eligible for funding and to ensure that the resources are allocated in a manner that optimally supports the state's cybersecurity infrastructure.
