Summary
This concurrent resolution encourages the Executive Board of the Legislature to establish an interim legislative committee to study the potential development of nuclear power in South Dakota, including the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in the state. The resolution highlights nuclear power's benefits as a clean, reliable energy source and notes that while South Dakota currently has no nuclear plants, it relies on nuclear energy from Minnesota. If formed, the committee would examine nuclear power's feasibility for South Dakota and report its findings, including potential draft legislation and policy recommendations, to the Legislature and Governor before the next legislative session begins.
