RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s U.S. senators are pushing to add nearly 200 acres of land to expand the Black Hills National Cemetery.

U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds and U.S. Sen. John Thune introduced a bill earlier this month that would permanently transfer 200 acres of federal lands to the 100-acre cemetery.

Rounds tells South Dakota Public Broadcasting the new area would not be used for or needed for several years but that the bill would guarantee that South Dakotan veterans have the chance to be buried in the cemetery that opened in 1948.

Similar land transfers are generally limited to 20 years of use.

Rounds says permanent land transfers require Congressional approval.

Rounds says he and Thune don’t anticipate any opposition.
