modify restrictions on lands for certain public purposes.

Summary

The bill amends South Dakota law so a court may alter or remove usage limits on property that was originally conveyed for religious, educational, charitable, benevolent, or other public purposes if it becomes impossible or impractical to follow those limits. The court may also order the land sold and require the proceeds to be reinvested in comparable property that furthers the original purpose. This gives flexibility to adapt historic land grants to modern circumstances.
