The final vote was 32 yeas to 3 nays.

Senator Grove, the bill sponsor, framed the measure as a workforce response: \"This is the purpose of House Bill 10‑71,\" she said, arguing the bill allows qualified physician assistants (PAs) to practice to the full extent of their training after meeting a specified experience threshold. Sponsors and supporters pointed to an amended compromise that sets a 6,000‑hour experience benchmark (from earlier drafts) and said the South Dakota State Medical Association and other stakeholders negotiated changes.

Opponents raised concerns about training differentials and the effect on medical‑school graduates. Senator Howard said the bill lacked detailed procedure lists and warned against undercutting incentives to complete medical school. \"If one can bypass four years of medical school and a rigorous three‑year residency program to enter primary care…why would anyone go to medical school in the first place?\" she asked.

Senator Smith described his change in position after the House‑to‑Senate amendment and negotiations: the change in the required hours and other amendments \"was substantial enough that the medical association changed their opposition on this bill.\" He said the bill retains defined practice lanes for PAs and shifts responsibility toward the PA when practicing independently.

Supporters, including Senator Jensen, noted committee consensus: the bill cleared committee unanimously following negotiation. After floor debate and the roll call, the president declared House Bill 10‑71 passed.

Ending — The bill now moves on for enrollment and further processing; supporters described it as a measure to expand rural access to care while opponents warned of broader implications for physician training incentives.

Senator Davis, the bill’s sponsor, told colleagues the measure was designed \"to protect family farms and their ability to operate efficiently and transparently when seeking a conditional use permit by having a complete hearing when everyone, where everyone is at the table, including a township that is affected.\" She said the bill was permissive and would provide counties the ability to tie permit conditions to projects while ensuring townships and municipalities received notice and could participate.

Opponents, led by Senator Nelson, argued the bill would remove decision‑making authority from townships and effectively allow counties to grant private, for‑profit access to adjacent landowners’ rights of way. \"This bill removes the township's role as the decision maker…It is intentionally vague and poorly worded so it can be applied to any project at any time,\" Nelson said on the floor.

Other senators pressed on definitions and scope. Senator Lopke asked what \"infrastructure\" in the bill meant and whether it might permit unconventional uses of rights of way; Davis responded that the language was intentionally broad so that townships would receive notice of any application that might affect section line rights of way. Senator Reid and others repeatedly emphasized that no existing statute language was being stricken and that the bill is intended to \"bring people to the table,\" not to strip statutory authority.

Several speakers noted statutory background. Sponsors and supporters referenced South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) cited during debate (see authorities). Supporters said the bill would provide certainty for lenders and landowners by preventing a later unilateral change to permit terms that might undermine long‑term agricultural investments.

After closing remarks from the sponsor and additional floor discussion, the secretary called the roll. The chair announced: \"Mister president, we have 14 yeas, 21 nays,\" and the president declared the bill lost.

Ending — The vote ends the Legislature’s immediate consideration of HB 12‑61; several senators who opposed and who supported the bill urged further local discussion and editing before reintroducing related fixes in a future session.

","The South Dakota Senate voted 21‑14 to defeat House Bill 12‑61, a measure that would have required counties to incorporate township and municipal concerns into conditional‑use permitting and clarified county authority over public rights of way.","actionData","errors"]
