A majority of the members–elect of the county commission shall pass a resolution requesting participation in the county legal expense relief fund before November 1, 1993, to initially be considered a participating county for the purposes of this chapter. If less than thirty–five of the counties in the state have passed resolutions requesting participation in this chapter before November 1, 1993, this chapter does not become effective. Each board of county commissioners shall by resolution take official action on whether the county will participate in the county legal expense relief fund. Such resolution shall be sent to the Office of the South Dakota Association of County Commissioners.
