Representative Heinemann offered amendment 10-69A to remove a $100 licensing fee; sponsor called the amendment friendly.

Representative Malawi invoked Joint Rule 5-17, which requires the support of one-fifth of the members to delay immediate action.

The House recorded 39 ayes, 28 nays, and 2 excused.

Sponsor Representative Hunt said the measure clarifies whether horse owners may choose qualified equine dental professionals (distinct from veterinarians) for routine maintenance such as floating teeth, and she emphasized the bill does not change veterinarians' scope of practice on medications or controlled substances. The sponsor and supporters described shortages of large-animal veterinarians in South Dakota and said practical access for rural owners motivated the change. Representative Whitman and others raised concerns that the adopted amendment removed a specific certification requirement (International Association of Equine Dentistry) and that the bill, without certification or regulatory language, might permit unqualified individuals to act without oversight.

Supporters said the bill is intended to clarify an existing exemption and preserve owners' choice; critics urged additional statutory guardrails and oversight provisions. After closing remarks, HB 11-76 was declared passed by roll call, 39–28 with 2 excused.

The final tally was 26 ayes, 41 nays, and 2 excused.

The prime sponsor argued the 1994 Article 8 revisions and current South Dakota statute (cited in debate as sections including 57A-8-5(11), 57A-8-503 and related provisions) effectively create a system where investors hold a 'securities entitlement' rather than direct ownership and that certain exceptions can give secured creditors priority over investors' claims during insolvency. The sponsor said HB 11-22 would remove those exceptions and allow investors to assert priority here in South Dakota and to bring disputes in-state.

Opponents, including representatives with backgrounds in commerce and those who cited testimony from financial-industry groups, said the indirect holding system provides operational advantages and that the narrow exceptions in Article 8 are purposeful (for margin accounts, clearing corporations and similar arrangements). They warned that changing the state UCC could create uniformity issues and unintended market disruption. Several members said they had not had time to assess all consequences and noted many trade groups and associations opposed the change.

The House debated whether federal regulation or interstate uniformity would preempt the change; the sponsor and others said the UCC is state law and the change would be a targeted, surgical modification of the adopted text. After questions and extended colloquy, the bill failed to secure a majority of votes.

The amended measure lets districts place bond questions on the primary date and, if the measure fails, again on the general election date in that same year; the amendment removed a proposed multi-year gap and allows annual elections on the standard dates.

The change was presented by Representative Aylward, who said the amendment would provide clarity and allow school boards to hold elections more frequently on standard dates. Representative Ellward moved the amendment (10-93A); members adopted it by voice vote. Supporters argued the bill would make the timing of school bond elections clearer for voters and help districts plan outreach. Representative Hughes said the legislature represents taxpayers and urged members to protect constituents' interests by making election timing predictable. Representative Muckey cautioned that more frequent election opportunities can raise financing costs for districts, which may increase costs passed on to taxpayers.

After debate, the House voted on final passage. The clerk reported 44 ayes, 23 nays, and 2 excused; the bill was declared passed. The title was deemed correct and the bill will proceed per legislative process.
