Human Services considers it necessary to condemn any private property for the purpose of erecting
or repairing any building or extending grounds and premises of any of the institutions of the state
of which the department has control, the secretary of human services shall, by proper resolution and
order, declare such condemnation necessary, stating the purposes and extent thereof, and shall notify

such building in an amount determined by the secretary of human services or the secretary of social
services.
Section 7. That § 1-36A-1.19 be amended to read as follows:
1-36A-1.19. The Department of Human Services and the Department of Social Services may
move, dismantle, destroy, or sell any temporary buildings or structures if the secretaries determine
the action is in the best interests of the State of South Dakota, in order to make better use of the area,
or because of extensive maintenance and repair costs or fire safety hazards. However, no such action
may occur unless the Bureau of Administration evaluates the buildings or structures and
subsequently determines that it is not economically feasible to repair, remodel, or redesign the
structures for other use.
Receipts from the sale of such structures shall be deposited in the state general fund.
Section 8. That § 1-36A-1.20 be amended to read as follows:

the department's control, financially or otherwise; examine the methods of instruction and treatment
and management of patients, the official conduct of all officers and employees, the condition of the
buildings, grounds and other property, and all other matters pertaining to the functioning and
management of the institution. For these purposes the secretary shall have free access to the grounds,
buildings, and all books and papers relating to the institution, and all persons connected with the
institution shall give such information and open such facilities for inspection as the secretary may
require, and any neglect or refusal on the part of any officer, employee, or person connected with an
institution to comply with the requirements of this section is sufficient cause for removal. The
secretary may administer oaths and examine any person in relation to any matter connected with the
inquiries authorized by this chapter.
Section 10. That § 1-36A-1.25 be amended to read as follows:
1-36A-1.25. If, in the opinion of the secretary of human services, any matter in regard to the
management of any institution under the department's control, or any matter in regard to any patient
of any institution under the department's control, requires legal investigation or action of any kind,
the secretary shall notify the attorney general, who shall investigate and take any actions the attorney
general considers necessary and proper, and report any actions taken and the results thereof to the
secretary without delay.
Section 11. That § 1-36A-3 be amended to read as follows:
1-36A-3. There is hereby created within the Department of Human Services the following
divisions:
(1) The Division of Rehabilitation Services, which is the state agency to administer the state
