Text

The Department of Game, Fish and Parks and the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources are directed to develop a state prairie dog management plan. The plan shall formulate state management actions that will serve to prevent the prairie dog from being listed as a federal threatened or endangered species. If such plan or any agreement adopted pursuant to such plan contains provisions for incentive payments to private landowners for managing prairie dog habitat or restricts private landowner rights to use any means of controlling prairie dogs on their property, the plan or any agreement adopted pursuant to such plan shall be submitted to the South Dakota Legislature, in bill form, for approval, prior to it becoming effective.
