41-4-9. Reimbursement of lessees of state-owned land condemned by United States.
If the United States of America condemns and takes by eminent domain any realty owned by the State of South Dakota that is held and administered by the Department of Game, Fish and Parks and if the department has given leases for the property to private parties before the condemnation and taking, the department may reimburse the private parties whose leasehold interest has been taken to fully compensate the private parties for the loss of their leasehold interest. The department may pay out of such funds paid by the United States of America such amounts to the private parties as are established by the appraised value of the leasehold interest by the United States of America, or any agency of the United States, and are agreed as acceptable by the private parties. Upon receipt of payment, the private parties shall give a release to the State of South Dakota, releasing the state from all further claims for payment for damages to the leasehold interests.
