Rep. Randolph introduced amendment 11‑66A on the floor to address committee concerns and revise portions of the original draft.

Randolph told members the amendment responds to questions raised in committee: it reduces the proposed penalty in some places from a class‑6 felony to a class‑1 misdemeanor, removes a provision linking public and private unions, and adds a definition of \"credible threat\" that, as printed on the floor, includes the element that \"a credible threat means a threat made with the intent and the apparent ability to carry out the threat\" and notes that a credible threat need not be expressed verbally.

Rep. Van Deeben opposed the amendment on the floor, saying he remained concerned that sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 still impose class‑6 felony penalties for conduct such as damage to property — a penalty he said was disproportionate when compared to similar misdemeanors for property damage outside the union context. \"For those reasons, I oppose this bill and I ask everybody to vote red on it,\" Van Deeben said.

Because the bill transfers money into a continuously appropriated fund, it required a two‑thirds vote.

Rep. Grama, presenting the bill on the floor, said the transfer is intended to support a successful live racing event this fall and that the bred racing fund was established to promote South Dakota‑raised horses and related economic activity. \"This bill transfers money out of this dedicated fund and into the South Dakota Special Racing Fund so the money can be used more effectively to hold the event,\" Grama said.

The clerk reported the two‑thirds vote outcome as \"ayes 68, excused 1,\" and the speaker declared the bill passed. The floor summary stated the transfer has no effect on the state general fund and described the transfer as intended to support an economic event in Pierre. No further implementation details were recorded in the transcript excerpt.","House Bill 10‑57, which transfers monies from the South Dakota bred racing fund to the special racing revolving fund to support a live horse‑racing event, passed the House by the required two‑thirds majority (ayes 68, excused 1).",{"_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},6336632,"House passes bill changing fees and nutrient‑management charges for confined livestock operations",116,2398410,2514425,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2282706-cd96bda67e049db1957cebca5787b3ae&start=2398&end=2514","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2282706-cd96bda67e049db1957cebca5787b3ae/thumbnail_2398410.jpg","/articles/6336632/South-Dakota/House-passes-bill-changing-fees-and-nutrientmanagement-charges-for-confined-livestock-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6336632-6d652539bab6c091ec1c5e06bd67f55c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166185&Signature=IDVP8i2p7ZMYH9KwRmOO6rbtQopmeVmRVI7c30~cMAyUaWxHhMwSr5QQ9rImMoKnBO-6SQWvaQV2fHnxTBUSbS9zbNQoomYNN~S3PTMU8T~91n2uO2ESX9izIl0SeRSpccVKmju4KhxT4AB00fdCdRTy-NE28kZuqyJJSNz~EjsvL7dMRJnVSHXCcW3NgLe7RKRAsBkRIQ4eE87Q~-7izXdR8E-Ih9cMw7nlGQycypyZVAAejTlZ0tN0513FFa-scEOH1FFJdlMNJgzZiF9MuqHntDAXF2HOjh0tfvvQWG-5lrZu9s8DFjzxgFTFahoYR3cwkwOX~Ppg0giVexOnHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pierre — The South Dakota House on Feb. 11 approved House Bill 10‑21, legislation that revises annual fees for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), establishes application and nutrient‑management plan fees, and moves from a flat fee to a per‑animal‑unit fee structure.

Rep. Sharada, presenting on behalf of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said the bill updates fee structures that have not changed in more than 20 years. \"Section 1 brings a fee to a per animal unit instead of just a flat fee,\" Sharada said, adding that the intent is to ensure adequate state funding for program administration and to avoid federal takeover if state resources fall short.

The floor presentation summarized committee changes: a proposed three‑year step‑up in fees was amended to stop at the first year; the bill creates a fee tied to nutrient‑management plans and addresses stockpiling of out‑of‑state manure; one provision establishes a one‑time $600 fee for a nutrient‑management plan. Sharada said stakeholders including the Farm Bureau, pork producers, dairy producers and the cattlemen supported the bill at committee and that there were no opponents recorded in committee testimony.

After floor discussion the House voted; the clerk reported ayes 47, nays 21, excused 1, and the speaker declared the bill passed.

Rep. Kaiser outlined the bill and described instances he said illustrate the problem, including testimony about people using one-night stays and mail‑forwarding services to obtain South Dakota driver’s licenses and register to vote while living elsewhere. \"We have people voting in our elections, even at the local level that have no stake in the outcome of those local elections,\" Kaiser said in floor remarks. He said the bill implements a 30 consecutive‑day residency requirement and that the national voter ballot would be limited to federal offices.

Rep. Healy moved amendment 12‑08E, which would allow mail‑forwarding or commercial mail receiving agency customers to vote in statewide contests — including governor, attorney general, secretary of state — and to vote on statewide ballot measures that would create or raise a tax or fee. Healy argued the amendment is \"a very modest addition\" to prevent taxation without representation for people who nevertheless pay state taxes and fees.

The amendment was seconded and discussed on the floor. Rep. Reimer invoked Joint Rule 5‑17 during consideration; the transcript shows that invocation but does not record the final disposition of the amendment or of House Bill 12‑08 on the floor in the provided excerpt.

Sponsor remarks included numeric claims about the scale of the issue; Rep. Kaiser said there are \"close to 50,000 individuals\" registered using PO‑box or mail‑forwarding addresses. The bill sponsor also referenced related legislation (House Bill 10‑66) as an alternate approach. The transcript records detailed floor debate and the amendment’s language but does not include a recorded vote or final action on the bill in the provided material.

Because the transcript does not show a floor vote or final disposition for HB 12‑08 in the provided excerpt, this account limits itself to floor discussion and the amendment process as recorded.","Lawmakers debated House Bill 12‑08, aimed at handling voter registration by people using mail‑forwarding services or PO boxes and proposing a separate \"national voter\" ballot for federal offices.

Rep. Jensen, sponsor of the bill, described the proposal as a simple measure to place the state seal or motto in classrooms and recounted historical background about the motto’s origins. \"We can do better. Let's pass HB 11‑05 as amended,\" Jensen said on the floor. He noted the seal’s historical origins and said many students did not know the state motto.

The bill’s opponents framed the proposal as an infringement on local control of schools. Rep. De Groot said the measure represented another state-level mandate telling local school boards what to do and urged colleagues to \"resist this motion.\" Rep. Heerman similarly argued that elected school board members are best positioned to make such decisions and called the bill \"not needed legislation.\"

Rep. Sharma, who spoke in opposition to a different style of mandating, suggested that many school boards already display the seal and that local boards could address the issue without a statewide requirement. Rep. Jordan spoke in support, calling the bill \"plain and simple\" and urging colleagues to vote in favor.

After debate the House proceeded to a recorded vote. The clerk reported \"ayes 30, nays 38, excused 1,\" and the speaker announced that House Bill 11‑05 had failed to receive the affirmative vote of the majority of members-elect.

The bill had been amended in committee before coming to the floor; the sponsor referenced that committee amendment during remarks. No further action on the bill was recorded in the legislative transcript provided.

Details recorded on the floor — including sponsor remarks, members’ objections on grounds of local control, and the final roll-call tally — provide the complete account of the floor disposition as transcribed.","The South Dakota House of Representatives voted 30-38 to defeat House Bill 11‑05, which would have required public school classrooms to display the state seal or motto.
