Senator Guida introduced HB 10 46 on the floor, saying the bill makes necessary adjustments to finalize the fiscal year 2025 budget and reporting a net decrease in general fund expenses of $74,600,000. The sponsor said $34,100,000 of the adjustments reflect lower Medicaid utilization and that $31,600,000 in general funds were made available to support one-time initiatives set aside over the past two years to plan for the full cost of Medicaid expansion.

The bill directs one-time funding for a number of items: $13,000,000 to finalize work on the Richmond Lake Dam, funds for evidence kit replenishment and victim services, $5,000,000 to the IT modernization fund, $22,800,000 to be transferred to the unclaimed property trust fund, and smaller appropriations such as $427,446 for Spearfish radio tower equipment and $123,200 to purchase legislative broadcasting equipment. The sponsor said $31,600,000 in general funds were available for one-time initiatives because of amounts set aside in previous years.

Senator Larson voiced opposition to the $22.8 million prefunding of the unclaimed property trust fund, saying the transfer was not part of the previously established plan and warning that the money would not necessarily be recoverable without a supermajority vote. Senator Melhoff responded that unclaimed property dollars are abandoned funds belonging to individuals and argued the transfer was a prudent step to address an estimated unfunded liability of about $1.2 billion.

On final passage the roll call showed 31 yeas, 3 nays and 1 excused. The president declared the bill passed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","South Dakota Senate - Day 37","oneSentenceSummary","The Senate approved House Bill 10 46 on March 13, 2025, a supplemental appropriations bill that reduces FY2025 general fund expenses by $74.6 million, reallocates funds for one-time needs including infrastructure and victim services, and transfers $22,800,000 to the unclaimed property trust fund.

Senator Veil Hower, who presented the bill, described it as part of a package tied to the session's budget work and said the bill \"is needed to support the state aid to general education and special education funding formulas.\" He said the bill reflects a 1.25% increase proposed in the governor's December budget and noted a small rise in the target teacher salary from $62,045 to $62,821. The bill also includes small downward adjustments to certain mill levies and maintains the state share of general education funding at roughly 58% and special education at just under 40%.

Supporters characterized the mill levy changes as modest and cautioned that the mill levy decrease affects a small component of overall property taxes. Debate was brief; the final roll call showed 33 yeas and 2 nays. The president declared Senate Bill 55 passed and the title correct.

The enrolled bill was later delivered to the governor for approval, per the journal entries recorded on March 13, 2025.","Senators passed Senate Bill 55 (55A) on March 13, 2025, updating property tax levies and state aid formulas for general and special education.

SB 220 sets the state's ongoing budget for fiscal 2026 and lays out the Legislature's chief spending plan: $2.5 billion in general funds, about $3.1 billion in federal fund expenditure authority and $7.3 billion in total funds. The bill allocates $33,700,000 to cover the full cost of Medicaid expansion beginning in fiscal year 2026 and designates money for state employee pay, K–12 and technical college increases, and one-time maintenance and infrastructure needs.

Supporters described SB 220 as a balanced budget that uses one-time funding for one-time expenses and ongoing money for ongoing obligations. Senator Otten, who led the Appropriations discussion, framed the bill as the result of weeks of negotiation and staff work, praising legislative fiscal staff and saying the chamber had produced \"a balanced budget that uses 1 time funding for 1 time expenses and ongoing funding for ongoing expenses.\" Senator Lopke outlined specific allocations in the bill, including the 1.25% increases for K–12 and technical colleges, health care providers, and state employees, and reiterated the $33.7 million Medicaid expansion allocation.

Debate touched on restored and reduced funding across many programs. Senators noted restorations for developmental disability reimbursement, family support programs, literacy initiatives, public broadcasting and veteran services while acknowledging cuts in other areas that were not fully restored. Senator Larson highlighted restored funding for public broadcasting and several health and veteran services programs but also identified significant cuts that remain in programs like the dual credit program and certain prevention and TANF-related amounts. Senator Carley and other senators credited cooperative work between the executive branch, appropriations committee and fiscal staff in producing the bill.

The final roll call produced 34 yeas and 1 nay. The president declared SB 220 passed.
