House Bill 1008 — hybrid energy facility siting: HB1008 clarifies that a \"hybrid facility\" (a generating facility that combines more than one type of generation, such as wind and solar) is subject to Public Utilities Commission siting review when the project's total output at a single point of interconnection is 100 megawatts or greater. Representative Peterson, speaking for the bill, said the measure ensures consistent application of siting protections \"regardless of the number of megawatts attributable to the individual generating components of the overall project.\" The House Commerce committee reported the bill with a favorable recommendation; the sponsor reported a committee vote of 13-0. On final passage the clerk reported \"ayes 69;\" the bill was declared passed.

House Bill 1012 — One Call notification board administration: HB1012 clarifies the status of the statewide One Call notification board as an agency administered by the South Dakota Department of Public Safety and outlines duties of the board. Representative Kaiser spoke during final consideration. The bill passed the House; the clerk reported ayes 68, nays 1.

Other floor actions: the House approved the journal, adopted committee reports following a motion by Representative Odenbach, and voted to appoint a small committee to escort the new governor to the rostrum earlier in the joint session (motion by Senator Melhoff; motion carried). Several additional first readings and committee referrals were announced on the floor.

What the votes mean: HB1008 updates definitions used in chapter 49-41B addressing energy facility siting to treat multi-technology projects consistently at the 100-megawatt threshold identified in the statute. HB1012 reorganizes administrative oversight of the One Call board by placing it under the Department of Public Safety; the bill text and committee reports should be consulted for details on duties and authority.

Officials and clerks recorded the roll and the vote tallies on the floor. No amendments that changed the final outcomes were reported during final passage on the floor that day.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Governor Rhoden Address & South Dakota House of Representatives - Day 10","oneSentenceSummary","House members on the floor in Pierre gave final passage to two bills after second reading and committee consideration.","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},6365698,"Gov.

Larry Roden on the floor of the South Dakota Statehouse in Pierre delivered his first address as the state's 34th governor, telling lawmakers he will prioritize replacing the state's aging men's prison, address property tax concerns and pursue policies he described as keeping South Dakota \"strong, safe and free.\" Roden also urged renewed engagement with tribal leaders and said his administration will pursue work requirements tied to Medicaid expansion under Amendment F.

Why it matters: Roden's speech set the early policy tone for his administration and signaled areas he expects the Legislature to act on in a tight budget year, including capital spending and proposals that could affect Medicaid recipients, schools and property owners.

Roden said the penitentiary is in urgent need of replacement, describing the facility as deteriorated: \"It is gothic inside,\" and saying the state is \"double bunking in tiny cells built for one person.\" He said the state has set money aside for a new facility and that \"this is the year to finish the job.\" He did not present specific financing details in the address.

On health-care benefits, Roden said his administration will pursue work requirements for some recipients of Medicaid expansion enacted under Amendment F: \"My department of social services will work with the Trump administration to get the ball rolling on work requirements for the recipients of Medicaid expansion,\" he said. He said CareerLink resources should help people find jobs and described social supports as a \"hand up\" rather than a way of life.

Roden expressed support for education savings accounts that legislative leaders have proposed and said he will attempt to ensure both public school families and homeschooling families are \"not harmed\" by the initiative. He also said he will convene House and Senate leadership and other stakeholders to pursue property tax solutions, describing property tax relief as an item he has long worked on.

On criminal justice and public safety he said hiring more police is preferable to increasing penalties: \"The best way to fight crime is to hire more officers, not to increase penalties,\" he said, adding that building more prisons only follows from increasing penalties.

Roden said he will press for an administration that is \"open and responsive,\" pledging to make himself or a cabinet member available for legislative meetings and to respond to subpoenas and legislative inquiries. He called for a \"fresh start\" with tribal governments and referenced a recent local resolution welcoming the outgoing governor's return to a reservation as a constructive step. He said he would not announce a new lieutenant governor at the joint session, but described the qualities he seeks in a choice.

The address included personal biography and family remarks; Roden referenced his roots as a fourth-generation South Dakotan, his time in the South Dakota National Guard and his years in the Legislature. He closed by asking lawmakers and citizens to \"pray for me and my family\" and reiterated the administration's themes of civility and collaboration.

The speech contained broad policy signposts rather than detailed proposals. Roden said he would not submit a separate budget but would participate in an \"open budget conversation\" and work with the state's budget office on options to restore some proposed cuts while acknowledging that budgeting is a zero-sum process.

Roden's remarks followed formal introductions by President Pro Tem Chris Carr and Speaker Hanson and were preceded by an invocation from Rev. Craig Wexler. Broadcasters Lori Walsh and Lee Strobinger of SDPB previewed the event on their live broadcast prior to the governor's address.

Roden's address did not include votes or formal actions by the Legislature; subsequent floor business included committee reports and the passage of several bills (see \"Votes at a glance\" article).","At a joint session in Pierre, Gov. Larry Roden delivered his first address as South Dakota's 34th governor, emphasizing a plan to replace the men's prison, address property taxes, pursue work requirements tied to Medicaid expansion, support education savings accounts and pursue improved relations with tribal governments.","actionData","errors"]
