  4. 2019 Next Generation Pipeline Bill Package This proactive legislative package: 1. Spreads the risk and extraordinary cost of law enforcement for pipeline projects among: the State, counties, federal government, pipeline companies and rioters (SB 190) 2. Creates a fund and legal remedies to pursue out-of-state money funding the riots (SB 189)

  5. The Facts Senate Bill 189 and Senate Bill 190 🔶 Pro Economic Development 🔶 Pro Free Speech 🔶 Proactive

  6. Current law - Counties: 2 mils + % local effort 1. Emergency declaration 2. 2 mil law: county level 3. 40/60 split thereafter

  7. Current law: Riot: SDCL 22-10

  8. North Dakota: DAPL Arrests (90% + out of state)

  9. State Perspective 1. Financial controls 2. Law enforcement expertise 3. Need for county coordination 4. Presently: some risk of extraordinary costs 5. Protect constitutional rights 6. Financial: sales and use tax; jobs during construction and increase county property tax base

  11. “I support an all-of-the-above energy policy and that includes the ability to safely move energy resources to where they are needed but this national priority could become a flashpoint in my state. This next-generation pipeline funding model was developed to directly address issues caused by out-of-state rioters funded by out-of-state interests that have attacked nearby projects. The current model for developing major energy infrastructure projects clearly needed an update,” continued Noem .

(S.D. 1977): “...the crime of riot in South Dakota is violence or the immediate threat 1. New administration: week 9 thereof. As such, it relates to and prohibits 2. First in nation - new approach certain defined conduct rather than forms of expression. 3. National discussion 4. Take the time to do it right Laws of this nature are needed and necessary to preserve good order and to 5.
