The proposed bill aims to enhance communication and collaboration between state agencies and tribal governments in South Dakota. It mandates that state agency officers and employees undergo annual training, facilitated by representatives from Indian tribes, covering the legal status and rights of tribes, as well as relevant social, economic, and cultural issues. Additionally, the bill requires annual meetings between the Governor, heads of state agencies, and tribal officials to address tribal concerns regarding administrative rules and policies, as well as to discuss other pertinent issues and potential solutions.

Furthermore, the bill establishes reporting requirements for state agencies. By August 15 each year, agencies must report to the Governor on their activities related to tribal governments, including any changes made to administrative rules or policies as a result of the annual meetings. The report should also outline efforts to promote communication and ensure tribal consultation in agency programs. Additionally, by September 15, the Governor is required to provide a comprehensive report to tribal governments detailing all state activities related to tribal populations for the previous fiscal year.
