In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the need to expediate actions to respond to COVID-19, South Dakota is amending its Citizen Participation Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan is being amended to expedite procedures, promoting and supporting “social distancing” while offering the public an opportunity to provide valuable citizen input into policies and procedures particularly as it relates to the administration and implementation of its federal programs.

Amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan – May 2020:
The Amended Citizen Participation is available to the public for a five (5) day public comment period prior to implementation, and anyone interested may review and comment accordingly. This Notice of the Amended Citizen Participation Plan is being posted on SDHDA’s website and email notice will be sent to all interested parties. The five (5) day public comment period is May 5 – May 11, 2020. A virtual public hearing will be held May 8, 2020, at 2 PM, CDT via Skype for Business.
