South Dakota Legislature Adjourns
The Legislature adjourned sine die on March 30, 2015, following a veto session where legislators overrode one of three vetoes by Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
Two tax-related measures failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority vote, but a measure to reduce the tax burden on rural electric companies will become law.
Next year’s session is scheduled to begin on January 12, 2016.
