South Dakota lawmakers are considering a harmful bill, Senate Bill 36, that could leave uninsured and underinsured property owners unable to rebuild their homes, businesses, and lives after a devastating wildfire. The legislation shields utilities from responsibility for wildfire damage caused by their equipment and operations. This bill not only threatens South Dakota property owners and businesses, but it also fails to address the growing threat wildfires pose to local communities.
Help us stop this misguided legislation. Tell your state senator to oppose SB 36 and push for real solutions to protect South Dakota. Act now!
