SDGFP meetings are normally on the afternoon of the 1st Thursday and Friday in the month, unless holidays preempt that. They skip August meetings.  Details about Commission meetings, hyperlinks and contacts can be found in previous posts on Commission meetings for previous months.

Written Comments are due by midnight CT the Sunday before the meeting.

Written comments can be submitted at https://gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/. To be included in the public record of the next meeting, comments must include your complete name and city of residence and meet the submission deadline of seventytwo hours before the meeting (not including the day of the meeting) (Usually Sunday night before midnight CT or MT depending on time zone of physical meeting)  If you miss that deadline it goes to record of the next meeting.  Unless you want to send directly to each Commissioner (no deadline)  –  https://gfp.sd.gov/commission/members/ 

 

You can testify in person or by Zoom at about 2 pm CT on Thursday, it is suggested you let GFP know you want to testify in advance (but they allow folks who did  register to testify).. Open forum is for speaking on any topic, the public hearing is just for rules up for finalization.

To conduct the public hearing and/or open forum as efficiently as possible GFP  asks those wishing to testify to register by 1:00 pm CT by email to Liz.Kierl@state.sd.us. Testifiers should provide their full names, whom they are representing, city of residence, and which proposed topic they will be addressing. However the hearing examiner normally allows for people who didn’t register to speak at the end – he calls for folks who did not register.
