Lake Area trades center would get $101 with other funding

The South Dakota Board of Technical Education would receive $101 from the state general fund to contract for building and equipping the center. The center would house training laboratories, classrooms, and student services at Lake Area Technical College. The Bureau of Human Resources and Administration would oversee design and construction. The college must receive enough money from gifts, grants, or other sources to cover the project cost minus the state's $101. Bonds could not pay for completing the project. The education secretary would approve payment requests, and the state auditor would issue payments. Unspent money not committed to an authorized expense would return under state procedures. The measure would take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
