South Dakota Passes Campaign Finance Bills and Adjourns

Before adjourning earlier in March, lawmakers passed bills regulating campaign contributions and reporting. Senate Bill 17, effective immediately, prohibits a candidate or political committee from accepting any contribution or loan from a foreign national. House Bill 1201 amends the rules for bingo games and lotteries conducted by PACs and political committees. Senate Bill 142, awaiting the governor’s approval, revises political committee reporting to require an annual year-end statement in both odd and even numbered years. Lawmakers will reconvene for Veto Day on March 30.
