Commission hears federal funding deadline and agency bill status in Secretary’s report
Summary
Secretary Joel Jundt told the Commission the FY26 continuing resolution expires Jan. 30, 2026, and warned that lack of action could lead to another CR or shutdown; he also summarized progress of agency bills in the state legislature and noted outreach on a land issue raised previously by a citizen.
Secretary Joel Jundt told the Commission that the continuing resolution for federal FY26 appropriations is set to expire on Jan. 30, 2026; he said the House had passed appropriation bills but the Senate still had work to do, and if the bills were not enacted the federal government would either pass another CR or face a shutdown.
Jundt also summarized state-level agency bill progress, noting that three of four agency bills had passed the Senate and that SB70 — which would have consolidated the Aeronautics Commission, State Railroad Board and Transportation Commission — did not pass after opposition from the South Dakota Pilots Association. He additionally reported that Department staff were maintaining communications with Darrell Smith regarding a land issue raised at the December meeting.
