Senate unanimously passes bill to remove outdated provisions from insurance code

Senate Bill 30, described on the floor as removing outdated provisions within the insurance code, received final passage in the South Dakota Senate during the chamber's floor session.

The measure had been placed on the consent calendar and was read for second and final consideration before senators voted. The Secretary of the Senate called the roll for final passage; the tally recorded 34 ayes with one member excused. The president then declared the bill passed and the title deemed correct.

The bill was presented to the chamber for final passage without floor debate recorded in the transcript. The record shows broad support on the final vote; no opposing or abstaining votes were recorded in the roll call included in the journal. The bill's text and any subsequent amendments or effective date are not included in the transcript and are noted as not specified in the floor remarks.

Because SB 30 was taken from the consent calendar and passed without recorded debate, there were no floor amendments or formal debate captured in the transcript. The Secretary of the Senate recorded the vote and announced the outcome to the chamber.
