Senator Perry moved to calendar the bill, describing it as \"an act to repeal enforcement provisions for, modifying requirements related to the fluoridation of public water supplies,\" and said \"fluoride in drinking water poses enough risk.\" The presiding officer reminded members they should limit remarks to reasons for calendaring rather than substantive debate.

Senator Reid urged colleagues to resist the motion and to respect the committee process, noting the bill previously failed a motion on the 41st day and that committee hearings allowed many opponents to testify: \"you are not gonna hear from those 15 different opponents\" if the bill bypassed committee consideration, Reid said. Senator Miskemence, identifying as a retired dentist, said opponents in committee emphasized the bill's negative impact on dental health.

After floor remarks limited to calendaring, the secretary called the roll. The result was announced as 12 yeas and 22 nays; the presiding officer declared the motion lost. Because the calendar motion failed, the bill was not placed on the day's calendar for immediate consideration and no final action on the bill was taken on the floor.","A motion to place Senate Bill 133, which would repeal enforcement provisions tied to public water fluoridation, on the Senate calendar failed after debate; the motion lost 12–22 on a roll call.",{"_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},6340878,"Senate passes law tightening penalties for illegal street racing; sponsors and opponents cite Sturgis and Sioux Falls concerns",1058,3355000,4413000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93&start=3355&end=4413","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93/thumbnail_3355000.jpg","/articles/6340878/South-Dakota/Senate-passes-law-tightening-penalties-for-illegal-street-racing-sponsors-and-opponents-cite-Sturgis-and-Sioux-Falls-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6340878-e55840c4b06632eafc4880ef9b8918e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771108095&Signature=gSbsO2aKn5N3QSwBJ2BKkRxQut0ST-veIacFy8XjHGzLikGCT8r1DQcrMs~jsE8Pgj92ovlZH5-LgqyZvUTsEBsbaUGfGKc2LeTEgLQYaTtlKE2F2gV2bGcqsp9Q2sPjKCJ8JbW0s8BbfU~tcl87JAQyFKSX49nNKTJLfsN4R96~rDjxLf6zYn0aLN4epEPxgZjhbHs~i6VzAuQLL47jfg987wtE2fN4K3iVnWlhQOYeKRdZ1yA9H5kN7rU2cvNqfFXE4vyVywUjZ0uPfGrl7pcpbthblaJTQiqTICDS1PFa4nCzOEMoD08W4b09LxsB6IEz3pax1XpzxA4RrZYwzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 116, designed to revise and clarify state law on street racing and related conduct, passed the Senate after an extended debate that highlighted concerns about tourism-driven events and local enforcement.

Senator Peterson, the sponsor, told the chamber the bill \"addresses the public safety issues caused by illegal street racing by providing clear criminal and civil penalties for participants and spectators.\" Peterson said the measure provides definitions for activities such as drag racing, drifting, burnouts and wheelies and supplies penalties and enforcement tools that sponsors say law enforcement has requested.

Opponents and cautioning voices on the floor raised several concerns. Senator Melhoff and others said the bill's language was broad and could unintentionally capture lawful, organized events such as charity rides and rodeos; Melhoff said the bill \"cast[s] into question a lot of things that are currently lawful behavior.\" Senator Duhamel and other supporters of tourism in the Black Hills flagged possible unintended consequences for events tied to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Some senators argued local ordinances and existing reckless- or exhibition-driving statutes could address most conduct and that local law enforcement should enforce those laws.

Senators reported working with stakeholders including ABATE and law-enforcement groups on amendments; Peterson said amendments addressed many opponents' concerns and stressed law enforcement and municipal leaders had supported the measure in committee hearings. The secretary recorded final passage at 25 yeas, 9 nays and 1 excused. The presiding officer declared Senate Bill 116 passed and the title correct.

Floor debate emphasized the tension between statewide uniform enforcement for dangerous driving behaviors and the desire to avoid interfering with lawful organized events and local enforcement practices.","Senate Bill 116, which defines and penalizes illegal street racing activities and provides enforcement tools, passed after lengthy floor debate about scope, tourism events such as the Sturgis rally and whether city ordinances or state law should address the conduct.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6340883,"Senate tightens penalties for contraband, adds electronic devices to prohibited items in correctional facilities",210,3133000,3343000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93&start=3133&end=3343","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93/thumbnail_3133000.jpg","/articles/6340883/South-Dakota/Senate-tightens-penalties-for-contraband-adds-electronic-devices-to-prohibited-items-in-correctional-facilities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6340883-89d6610a88ced60fa2767b9c86044e75/orig.mp4?Expires=1771108095&Signature=AMjZ4lc~U2NA~4QJ-0pm7ON3LuIDkpc3WAf7Kt27BhmdzyPO0dv2SDBLfqek7LojvZoSktSFNTeGJhkqnZsvjKOJ4-wJH80a3KHuYNtoihaQijNr1UFovhNE3mwa3nN97USKoAXeHe0JEiIVpARiqxlY2eNVdiJSnilzJ0uWxdqo2GrEs8qoLIx0QSeEzlkkkS74Rz~JLEanWGXwZgf8LRFuJhlj2YsVuwoafggtFDLIsyCkAhbVr8sh0dHnt4yAn7he~BACaovZc0iAeRzeeq72aMRZ-lP4YM4gVl8-5rfbbESY5dMwuQcFS7kz-AWn-IVk1Ev2pf7h0rMVjbee3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 59, which revises provisions related to the delivery, possession with intent to deliver and possession of unauthorized articles in state correctional facilities, passed the Senate following sponsor remarks describing the measure's goals.

Senator Duhamel, speaking for the bill, said the measure was requested by the attorney general and Department of Corrections and accomplishes three main objectives: explicitly listing electronic devices (including cell phones) as prohibited items, replacing the ambiguous term \"articles of indulgence\" with clearer definitions, and increasing penalties for delivering contraband. \"These devices are commonly used to coordinate illegal activities, disrupt correctional operations, even conduct criminal enterprises inside and outside the prison walls,\" Duhamel said on the floor.

No extended opposition or amendments were recorded on the floor. The roll call showed the bill passed with an affirmative majority; the secretary announced 34 yeas and 1 excused. The presiding officer declared the bill passed and the title correct.

The bill's sponsors said the changes were intended to give correctional authorities clearer statutory tools to address contraband and the criminal activity it enables.","Senate Bill 59 passed unanimously on the floor to revise prohibited items in state correctional facilities, explicitly banning electronic devices, clarifying language, and increasing penalties for delivery of contraband.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6340887,"Senate expands categories for presumptive probation in criminal sentencing",610,2508000,3118000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93&start=2508&end=3118","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258686-d4653c6ffbf8ec644cb176a2aa699a93/thumbnail_2508000.jpg","/articles/6340887/South-Dakota/Senate-expands-categories-for-presumptive-probation-in-criminal-sentencing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6340887-9d321657f1dfed0d52798ea4c204429a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771108095&Signature=UY-WxfQ1DvD7cPpT~Sen4PJ-DrK-EkCLQVgYCWfW8ltbDpXOuStJ3b1i4pAhPhDeo-lZ8JWVGygDhuiiRSXJyNuTzSbzzfzUrwKyyofi1NEQ8GEDpZe9~WvfzIpWkzuVOTa9n7tRmuQHSuov4PhZtCHbNssxvd84qa3kcj3iG1ylnxFIy0c~IChsdNL5LEI3XutwgvEWVglGqulhlvq3TtuSoU4tVOTVWOlAWyiF-EunJQJMeyJMqQbsnwDRA8yBaTYw41FRRjyEN0~ZVeHG0aJQ74ppd660voX128WTvqnbFA7yj6RMgOXSVY0fiLpoj1B2WO2FuVzeVL6WolmhrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 57, a measure that modifies the state's presumptive probation sentencing framework, received final passage after extended debate about incarceration rates and judicial discretion.

Senator Blanc, speaking for the bill, said it was brought at the request of the attorney general and \"addresses the issue of presumptive probation.\" He explained the change as an adjustment to existing sentencing guidance that presumes probation for certain felony classes unless aggravating circumstances exist; the bill adds four more categories to the statutory list of exceptions, including threats against officers or judicial officials and certain listed offenses.

Opponents on the floor argued the change risks increasing incarceration for offenses that some view as nonviolent. Senator Smith said, \"we incarcerate way, way too many people in the state of South Dakota,\" and urged caution, while Senators Foster and others asked whether the provision applies only to felonies and raised concerns about misdemeanor conduct occurring during probation.

Sponsor and proponents argued the bill clarifies ambiguity and responds to public-safety concerns; Senator Black closed by saying the bill was intended to \"clear up the ambiguity\" and noted it is not intended to punish lightly but to provide clarity for crimes such as attacks on judges or the governor.

The secretary called the roll on final passage; the tally was recorded as 31 yeas, 3 nays and 1 excused.

Senator Vilhauer spoke for the bill on behalf of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, saying, \"This is nothing new to members of this body. It's typically called the Omnis Water Funding Bill.\" He told senators the fund is supported by dedicated revenue streams — including some online lottery receipts, tank inspection and tire disposal fees — and has provided about $379,000,000 for projects since the early 1990s. This year's request includes roughly $17,500,000 in special appropriations and carries an emergency clause, which requires a two-thirds vote to take effect immediately.

The nut of the measure is to continue a long-standing state program that provides dedicated funding for local water and environmental projects without using general funds. Vilhauer said the bill helps local sponsors build water and waste systems that benefit public health, economic development and environmental quality.

Senators did not engage in extended debate on the floor after the sponsor's remarks. Because the bill contains both an appropriation and an emergency clause, it required and received the necessary two-thirds affirmative vote. The secretary announced the tally as 33 yeas, 1 nay and 1 excused; the presiding officer declared the bill passed.

Senate Bill 33 returns to enrollment and will be sent on for any required executions as provided under legislative rules; the title was declared correct on the floor.","The South Dakota Senate gave final passage to Senate Bill 33, an omnibus water and environmental appropriations measure totaling $17.5 million in special appropriations and carrying an emergency clause; the measure passed by a two-thirds majority.","actionData","errors"]
