The resolution was adopted after brief remarks and a roll call that the clerk recorded as 68 ayes with 1 excused.

Proponents said the data help local governments, nonprofits and service providers prepare housing, school and social supports. Representative Alk, the bill’s sponsor, said the measure revives a reporting practice that lapsed after a previous sunset and that the information has been useful in the past for local planning. “This information isn’t anything that, for instance, Lutheran Social Services isn’t already doing,” Alk said; the bill documents and centralizes those data for state and local use.

Some members questioned whether the bill included enforcement or penalties for noncompliance. Alk and others said the agencies have historically cooperated and routinely provided the data; Representative Jamieson and Representative Schaeff Bauer described the reports as helpful for meal programs, clothing drives and school preparation.

Final passage: HB 11‑06 passed on a 56–12 roll call with 1 excused. Sponsors said the reports would be made available through the governor’s office as in prior years.

Prime sponsor Representative Aylward said the change aims to boost voter turnout and reduce costs tied to off‑cycle or ad hoc elections. “If the voters know that they have something else to vote on, no matter what, that voter turnout is gonna go up,” Aylward said, arguing scheduled dates avoid weather or timing problems that can depress participation.

Opponents, including Representative Stevens and Representative DeGroot, warned the measure would limit local school boards’ flexibility and could increase long‑term costs. Stevens said the bill could force districts to wait for the next primary or general and thereby pay more interest, citing variability in rates and project timing. “This bill completely takes it away. It allows those who are in the financial industry to know, hey. There's only 2 times they can do this and they can arrange their rates accordingly,” Stevens said.

Supporters said coordinated election timing would encourage civic engagement and make large capital decisions more visible. Representative Jordan said the bill would “bring more people out and more people to have a say.” Municipal officials and some school districts argued the change could delay urgent projects or require special elections, costing more.

Final vote: House Bill 10‑93 failed by tie, 34–34 with 1 excused. Representative Soy later indicated intent to reconsider.

The measure drew extended floor debate on local control, taxpayer cost and turnout data; members disagreed on whether statutory notice requirements, local outreach, or changing election timing best addresses low turnout and cost issues.

Supporters said the measures pause market entry and state investment until longer‑term safety data are available, while opponents warned of unintended consequences for consumers, commerce and legal exposure under the interstate commerce clause.

Representative Sharada, the prime sponsor of HB 11‑09, framed the bill as a consumer‑safety pause. “Is it safe for human consumption?” she asked on the House floor, saying federal review was limited and that only a small number of jurisdictions have authorized sales. Sharada noted the bill is temporary: “This is not permanent ban. It's just a hold off until we can make sure it's safe.”

Representative Hunt, the prime sponsor of HB 11‑18, told colleagues the funding ban would not block academic research under the Board of Regents and would allow state labeling and inspection to continue. “This bill will leave provisions for students under the board of regents to continue to research cell cultivated protein,” Hunt said, adding that the agriculture department consulted on the text.

Debate included questions about whether FDA review of initial products amounted to sufficient safety vetting, and whether a state ban could expose South Dakota to litigation. Representative Vasquez warned of possible interstate commerce challenges, noting litigation over similar Florida restrictions. Representative Whitman and others argued the public should retain choice and that recently passed state labeling requirements already inform consumers.

Representatives who emphasized protecting school meal programs and children’s nutrition supported restrictions. Representative Rice said school‑meal participation makes a precautionary approach appropriate because “those little kids don't have a choice.” Others urged deference to federal regulators.

Votes: House Bill 11‑09 passed final passage on a 42–26 vote with 1 excused. House Bill 11‑18 passed earlier on a 68–0 voice/rollcall with 1 excused. Both are now set to move in the legislative process consistent with standard transmittal steps.

The legislation’s supporters described the measures as temporary safeguards; the chief sponsor of HB 11‑09 repeatedly cited the bill’s 10‑year sunset as a mechanism to revisit the policy as more evidence becomes available. Opponents said the bills send a signal discouraging innovation and could limit consumer choice and future economic activity in the state.

If enacted, HB 11‑09 would criminalize manufacture, sale or distribution of cell‑cultured meat in South Dakota for the length of the sunset. HB 11‑18 would prevent state agencies and state funds from being used to support the sector while preserving limited research authority for Regents institutions.

—","The House approved two bills aimed at limiting cell‑cultured meat in South Dakota: one bans manufacture, sale and distribution with a 10‑year sunset (HB 11‑09); the other bars use of state funds for related research and development (HB 11‑18). Debate centered on safety, consumer choice and impacts on agriculture.","actionData","errors"]
