Senate Page Resolution 1, commending the pages who served during the session, was adopted after brief remarks. The roll call recorded 35 ayes and the resolution was declared passed.

Under the consent calendar, senators voted collectively on several bills certified as uncontested by committees. The following bills were taken up and passed on final passage: Senate Bill 7 (prohibiting certain immigration‑related policies), Senate Bill 15 (expanding the policy advisory committee for animal damage control), Senate Bill 41 (clarifying minimum age requirements for hunting licenses), and Senate Bill 74 (requiring publication and review of an explanation of the state open meetings law). The record shows the consent calendar measures passed with 35 ayes.

Senator Melhoff moved to defer Senate Bill 51 to Monday, Jan. 27 (the 9th legislative day). Senator Melhoff also moved that Senate Bill 11 be deferred to Monday, Jan. 27; the motions were entered on the record and carried. The Senate also received transmitted House bills 1011, 1022, 1023 and 1049 for consideration; none had been assigned to committees at the time of the floor remarks.

Several first‑reading measures were introduced on the floor without debate, including Senate Bills 91–98 and House Bills 1011, 1022, 1023 and 1049. Senator Carley requested that Senate Bill 20 be removed from the consent calendar before the collective vote.

These items were taken up during routine floor action; votes and motions are recorded in the Senate journal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","South Dakota Senate - Day 8","oneSentenceSummary","On floor votes, the Senate adopted a page resolution, approved several consent calendar bills, and deferred Senate Bills 11 and 51 to Monday, Jan. 27.","taxTitle","2025 Legislative SD, South Dakota","taxId",77845,"location","South Dakota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6371313,"Senate keeps $2 emergency 911 fee and shifts reporting to calendar year",308,3033000,3341000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2150076-7db1279d76d4a5d52bdc5d90c4d0ee42&start=3033&end=3341","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2150076-7db1279d76d4a5d52bdc5d90c4d0ee42/thumbnail_3033000.jpg","/articles/6371313/South-Dakota/Senate-keeps-2-emergency-911-fee-and-shifts-reporting-to-calendar-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371313-8d71ba332e03ca7982feda8fabd9773b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169301&Signature=X4hp3hlJrUHPs2BXgqfS8KOcR-nmGB2OZjbCY4Yr0SMLKIik80EzdXYKXqi3i-DkmQwlQSLoIBcsOq3EY7SSuScdUQbrcVHkhO6Mei6PDI4TfO6BfI-ReYh35FDzjOUQBpHliJOp2PZxQV0WI1-p2-5IaLE5PDXmkstdUGzBSn87o7q83Y9kMFY6xQO03xZFbRh8RCI0dXQyOfsVVT7-Lh1FysbTIZs4BFSC9~kFx5EvNFMmTPtbj~RYmDiNjg1TAOz7y5FxSOMfK7fOzf9EP40fsFDho4khHBh~thki0pkXH9KFcsC4pWAJ366JoT5jJIpP9lvq~Ar4z3SFQIorXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 37, sponsored by the Department of Public Safety and presented on the Senate floor by Senator Melhoff, passed with the two‑thirds majority required to make permanent a previously enacted increase in the state’s 911 surcharge and to change the annual reporting period to align with most local governments’ calendar years.

Melhoff said the bill “does two things”: it revises the reporting period for the 911 coordination board so municipal and county reports align with their calendar fiscal years, and it removes a sunset clause on the surcharge that had raised the fee from $1.25 to $2. “That ensures that they get more accurate reporting to that committee,” Melhoff said, and removing the sunset will keep the $2 fee in place until the Legislature decides otherwise.

Senator Perry added floor remarks stressing the importance of 911 services to public safety, saying, “I support this bill, not just a little bit, but a 100%.” The Senate recorded final passage by roll call, 33 ayes and 2 nays, meeting the two‑thirds threshold required for the provision that removes the fee’s sunset.

On the floor, Melhoff described the administrative rationale: earlier reporting requirements split data across fiscal years, complicating municipal reporting. The amendment in the bill aligns reporting with the calendar year used by many municipalities and counties, which proponents said will produce clearer, more accurate annual reports to the Government Operations and Audit Committee (GOAC). The measure also maintains the current $2 per line surcharge established in the prior session by removing the temporary sunset.

Senate Bill 37 will proceed under the Legislature’s process for enactment. No separate appropriation was discussed on the floor during the second‑reading debate.","Senators approved Senate Bill 37 to remove a sunset on a recent increase in the 911 fee and to align 911 reporting with municipal calendar years; the bill passed with a two‑thirds majority, 33–2.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6371319,"Senate passes bill requiring uniform pre‑election campaign finance reports",226,2509000,2735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2150076-7db1279d76d4a5d52bdc5d90c4d0ee42&start=2509&end=2735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2150076-7db1279d76d4a5d52bdc5d90c4d0ee42/thumbnail_2509000.jpg","/articles/6371319/South-Dakota/Senate-passes-bill-requiring-uniform-preelection-campaign-finance-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371319-288cef8178ca50addcd3ef3d9d818625/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169301&Signature=S5oKHE-jYnhu8HFG2ykffmo1~jSAt~UZv~R0qsA~L0jgO9GGmdmB8NBrXFu7GlqDk5Ri3tkL989Mz-IHpm2~Tle51eVjQ7VoY97zSXRr4y5WynL6k21dSuufeSnAJkiFxdxysWMTyfp04XM8eeJV5eTbRT2z-qEeujf6VD3Uo5DEo1c6zLi1-KC-9DJBEyynC24e2EM4U62z82h8QHqE14zUxKqjgrJWNcwA9FAbczCgSQt7r4zTnD46GhNXIbpbl9VOe2DkQms33UGuvvvObKrtKLnOicQKS-JaZ7ODXfT2gRTuQRl~7GLVGKetd5gLuq6MCehzBJ8CoIGjn-BAAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 17, which requires candidate campaign committees to file pre‑primary, pre‑general and end‑of‑year campaign finance disclosures, passed the South Dakota Senate after an amendment clarified the bill’s language.

The bill’s sponsor, Senator Roll, told colleagues the measure “makes sure that every single candidate campaign has to file a pre primary, a pre general, and an end of year report,” arguing the change improves transparency so “our constituents have a better understanding of who we're getting money from and what we're spending money on.” Roll also said the bill “fixes that mistake” that previously let some candidates avoid those filings when a primary did not occur.

Supporters said the change standardizes filing requirements for candidate committees and strengthens public access to campaign finance information. The Senate adopted amendment 17A, which Roll described as a clarification for the Secretary of State’s office and not a functional change, and then approved the amended bill on a roll call vote of 31 yeas and 4 nays. The Senate journal recorded the negative votes as Senator Carr, Senator Otten, Senator Pischke, and Senator Voigt.

Legislative procedure recorded the motion to amend and the final passage. The bill was presented on second reading, debated briefly with the sponsor speaking, and then put to the roll call. No additional statutory citations or administrative rules were discussed on the floor during debate.

Senate Bill 17 will proceed to the next step in the legislative process as required by Senate rules.","The South Dakota Senate on the floor adopted Senate Bill 17, amended, to require candidate campaign committees to file pre‑primary, pre‑general and year‑end reports, with the measure passing 31–4.","actionData","errors"]
